No other Path to Immortality



“The Brahman is constant and does not get destroyed. When he adopts two different forms, that is known as the state of being in twain (dvaita). (This means the Brahman and the atman.) One (the atman) can then see, smell, taste, hear, touch and know the other (the Brahman). One can talk to or think about the other. But when the two merge and become one, how can one see, smell, taste, hear, touch or know the other? How can one think about the other? The Brahman is the one who has been described by the expression neti, He has no destruction or decay. He is unattached and alone. If you realise the union, you will not talk about realsing the Brahman. I have now instructed you. There is no other road to immortality.”

"Upanishads"
