"Fire is udana. When that fire goes out, The senses are drawn back into the mind And the person is ready for rebirth.
"Whatever the content of consciousness At the time of death, that is what unites us To prana, udana, and the Self, To be reborn in the plane we have earned."
-Prashna Upanishad
• Hear, O children of immortal bliss,
You are born to be united with the Lord. Follow the path of the illumined ones And be united with the Lord of Life.
Kindle the fire of kundalini deep
In meditation. Bring your mind and breath Under control. Drink deep of divine love, And you will attain the unitive state.
Dedicate yourself to the Lord of Life, Who is the cause of the cosmos. He will Remove the cause of all your suffering And free you from the bondage of karma.
-Shvetashvatara Upanishad
• Earth, sky, worlds above, quarters and their halves;
Fire, air, sun, moon, and stars; water, herbs, trees,
Space, and entity are the elements. Eye, ear, mind, tongue, and touch; skin, flesh, muscle.
