Inspirational Quotations by The Upanishads
- He who knows Self as the enjoyer of
the honey from the flowers of the senses,
ever present within, ruler of time,
goes beyond fear. For this Self is Supreme!
- Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy
there is no creation: know the nature of joy.
- Let a man strive to purify his thoughts. What a man
thinketh, that is he; this is the eternal mystery.
Dwelling within himself with thoughts serene,
he will obtain imperishable happiness.
Man becomes that of which he thinks.
- The wise should surrender speech in mind,
mind in the knowing self,
the knowing self in the Spirit of the universe,
and the Spirit of the universe in the Spirit of peace.
- As the sun that beholds the world is untouched by earthly impurities,
so the Spirit that is in all things is untouched by external sufferings.
- Life comes from the Spirit. Even as a man casts a shadow,
so the Spirit casts the shadow of life, and, as a shadow of
former lives, a new life comes to this body.
- Even as a great fish swims along the two banks of a river,
first along the eastern bank and then the western bank,
in the same way the Spirit of man moves along beside his two dwellings:
this waking world and the land of sleep and dreams.
- Who sees all beings in his own Self,
and his own Self in all beings, loses all fear.
