gives rise to all works, all desires, all odors, all tastes, who is beyond words, who is joy abiding—this is the Self dwelling in my heart.
-Chandogya Upanishad
• In the secret cave of the heart, two are seated By life's fountain. The separate ego Drinks of the sweet and bitter stuff, Liking the sweet, disliking the bitter, While the supreme Self drinks sweet and bitter Neither liking this nor disliking that. The ego gropes in darkness, while the Self Lives in light. So declare the illumined sages And the householders who worship The sacred fire in the name of the Lord.
-Katha Upanishad
• In the dark night live those for whom The world without alone is real; in night Darker still, for whom the world within Alone is real. The first leads to a life Of action, the second to a life of meditation. But those who combine action with meditation Cross the sea of death through action And enter into immortality Through the practice of meditation. So have we heard from the wise.
-Isa Upanishad
• "The sun is the prana of the universe, And it rises to bring light to our eyes. The earth draws the lower fire of apana; The space between sun and earth is samana, And the moving air is vyana.
