That by which the vital breath does not breathe, but by which the breath itself is directed — know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.

That which the ear cannot hear, but by which this ear is heard — know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.

That which the eye cannot see, but by which the eye itself sees — know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.

That which the mind cannot think, but by which the mind is said to be thought — know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.

That which speech cannot reveal, but by which speech itself is revealed — know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.

She said, it is Brahman. In that victory of Brahman you have been glorified. From this alone he knew it was Brahman.

Therefore Indra surpasses other gods, because he came nearest to Brahman and was the first to know it as Brahman.

For one who has not reflected on it, it stands as thought; for one who has reflected, he does not know it. It is unknown to those who consider themselves knowers, and known to those who do not claim to know.

Therefore these gods — Agni, Vayu, and Indra — surpass other gods, because they came nearest to Brahman and were the first to know it as Brahman.

Spirituality is essentially an awakening to the inner reality of our being. It is a connection to the spirit, self, or soul that is beyond our mind, life, and body. This awakening involves an inner aspiration to know, feel, and become one with this greater reality.

My advice is to not strive for supernatural powers or rapid Kundalini awakening. Instead, cultivate devotion to God, have complete faith in Him, and embody a spirit of service to humanity. The Kundalini will awaken naturally.

Those who have known the Prana of the prana, the Eye of the eye, the Ear of the ear, and the Mind of the mind — they have realised the ancient, primordial Brahman.

"For life-breath alone is all these. He who sees thus, thinks thus, and understands thus becomes a surpassing speaker. If people say to him, 'You are a surpassing speaker,' let him say, 'I am a surpassing speaker'; let him not deny it."

If merely pretending to be spiritual can bring about such spiritual awakening, one can only imagine the impact of genuine spiritual practice. In that state, one will undoubtedly realize what is real and what is not. Only God is real, while the world is an illusion.

He who knows himself as the omnipresent Spirit is subject no longer to the rigidities of a body in time and space.

Great saints who have awakened from the cosmic mayic dream and realized this world as an idea in the Divine Mind, can do as they wish with the body, knowing it to be only a manipulatable form of condensed or frozen energy.

Gnosis is the life of the heart through God, and the turning away of one's inmost thoughts from all that is not God. The worth of everyone is in proportion to gnosis, and he who is without gnosis is worth nothing.

Do not throw away this priceless human birth in vain. Do not let it slip from your hands; it will not come into your hands again and again. You have been given the chance of your own deliverance, so seek it out. Grant your soul, caught in the cycle of birth and death, a resting place, a refuge. Let your soul attain awareness of the Formless Supreme, so that it may be freed from the bondage of birth and death.

Ignorance is the root cause of pride. The day man gives place to God in his heart, the day he realises the Truth, all the disputes will end automatically.

God-knowledge can be revealed to us only by a person who is fully familiar with it. Only such a person can establish our relationship with God. The only condition is that we must possess the requisite desire, the requisite will to receive the divine knowledge.
