in union with the Self is not aware of what is without and what is within, for in that unitive state all desires find their perfect fulfillment. There is no other desire that needs to be fulfilled, and one goes beyond sorrow.
-Brhadaranyaka Upanishad.
• But not those who are free from desire; they Are free because all their desires have found Fulfillment in the Self. They do not die like the Others; but realizing Brahman, they merge in Brahman.
- Brhadaranyaka Upanishad.
• As rivers lose their private name and form When they reach the sea, so that people speak Of the sea alone, so all these sixteen Forms disappear when the Self is realized. Then there is no more name and form for us, And we attain immortality."
-Prashna Upanishad
• The ego and the Self dwell as intimate friends in the same body, like two golden birds perched in the same tree. The ego eats the sweet and sour fruits of the tree, while the Self looks on detached. For as long as you identify with the ego, you will feel joy and sorrow. But if you know you are the Self, the Lord of Life, you will be free from suffering; the supreme source of light; the supreme source of love. You will transcend duality and live in a state of Oneness.
-Mundaka Upanishad
