• Not by the weak, not by the unearnest, Not by those who practice wrong disciplines Can the Self be realized. The Self reveals Himself as the Lord of Love to the one Who practices right disciplines.
-Mundaka Upanishad
• As the rain on a mountain peak runs off The slopes on all sides, so those who see Only the seeming multiplicity of life
Run after things on every
side.
As pure water poured into pure water Becomes the very same, so does the Self Of the illumined man or woman, Nachiketa, Verily become one with the Godhead.
- Katha Upanishad.
• The Self cannot be known by anyone Who desists not from unrighteous ways, Controls not his senses, stills not his mind, And practices not meditation. None else can know the omnipresent Self, Whose glory sweeps away the rituals Of the priest and the prowess of the warrior And puts death itself to death.
-Katha Upanishad
• In deep meditation aspirants may See forms like snow or smoke. They may feel A strong wind blowing or a wave of heat. They may see within them more and more light: Fireflies, lightning, sun, or moon. These are signs That one is far on the path to Brahman.
-Shvetashvatara Upanishad 326
