• Filled with wonder, we sing, "I see the Lord." So his name is Idamdra, "He who sees." The name Indra stands for Idamdra. The gods do like to sit behind a veil; Indeed they like to sit behind a veil.
-Aitareya Upanishad
• The mantra AUM stands for the supreme state Of Turiya, without parts, beyond birth And death, symbol of everlasting joy. Those who know AUM as the Self become the Self; Truly they become the Self. Om shanti shanti shanti
-Mandukya Upanishad
• Know the Self as lord of the chariot, The body as the chariot itself, The discriminating intellect as charioteer, And the mind as reins. The senses, say the wise, are the horses; Selfish desires are the roads they travel. When the Self is confused with the body, Mind, and senses, they point out, he seems To enjoy pleasure and suffer sorrow.
-Katha Upanishad
• That which makes the eye see but cannot be Seen by the eye, that is the Self indeed. This Self is not someone other than you."
