The World of the Brahman

There are veins in the heart and it is along these veins that the rays of the sun course. It is these veins that unite the solar circle with the heart. When a person is asleep, he enters the heart through these veins. And it is there that he unites with the Brahman. There are one hundreds and one major veins in the heart. One of these ascends upwards and enters the head. When a learned person dies, he ascends upwards along this vein and attains immortality. He utters the sacred syllable oum and unites with the sun. The sun is the gate to the world of the Brahman. But this gate is closed to those who are ignorant.
