Upanishad: The Shining Self

“The immortal Self is the sun shining in the sky, he is the breeze blowing in space, he is the fire burning on the altar, he is the guest dwelling in the house; he is in all men, he is in the gods, he is in the ether, he is wherever there is truth; he is the fish that is born in water, he is the plant that grows in the soil, he is the river that gushes from the mountain–HE, the changeless reality, the illimitable!”

Men’s doesn’t live by breath alone, but by him in whom is the power of breath.

Upanishads Statement– Scriptural teachings– that must be kept in mind at all times.

Brahman: The Creator

BRAHMAN is all. From Brahman come appearances, sensations, desires, deeds. But all these are merely name and form. To know Brahman one must experience the identity between him and the Self, or Brahman dwelling with in the lotus of the heart. 
Only by so doing can man escape from sorrow and death, and become one with the subtle essence beyond all knowledge.
