The Upanishads

 

Ribhu Gita

"There is not an atom apart from the Self, which is the integral undifferentiated perfection of whole Being. Soul, world and Creator are inseparable from the Self. The reality of these is the reality of the Self only."

Yoga

This, the firm Control of the senses, is what is called yoga. One must then be vigilant; for yoga can be both beneficial and injurious.

Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part Two, Chapter III, 11

Atman cannot be attained by speech, by the mind, or by the eye. How can It be realised in any other way than by the affirmation of him who says: He is?

Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part Two, Chapter III, 12

He is to be realised first as Existence limited by upadhis and then in His true transcendental nature. Of these two aspects, Atman realised as Existence leads the knower to the realisation of His true nature.

Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part Two, Chapter III, 13

When all the desires that dwell in the heart fall away, then the mortal becomes immortal and here attains Brahman.

Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part Two, Chapter III, 14

When all the ties of the heart are severed here on earth, then the mortal becomes immortal. This much alone is the teaching.

Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part Two, Chapter III, 15

Sri Ramana

 

Rumi "Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation."

 

Mooji

Because we think we are something, we imagine there must be something operating all this Universe.

What IS is pure intelligence, awareness Being. It may also be called God, Self or pure Consciousness.

It is not a thing.

We think we are a ‘thing’, an object or ego and therefore It must also be a ‘thing’. Actually ‘we’ are ‘IT’ but we haven’t realized this yet. We imagine that behind all actions there is an actual separate ‘doer’ doing something. When you discover your formless Self, everything is observed to be simply unfolding spontaneously as one whole functioning.

Samael Aun Weor

It would be worthless for the Christ to be born one thousand times in Bethlehem if he is not born in our hearts as well.  We have to form Christ within ourselves in order to enter through the doors into the triumphant and victorious city on Palm Sunday. Christmas is a cosmic event that must be performed in each one of us.  The Nativity (Christmas) is absolutely individual.  It is necessary for the Christ to be born in each one of us.

Golden Dawn

Vanished are those who in the days before us gazed at the rising of the morning Sun. It is we the living who now behold the Dawn, and after us her shining others will see.

Rig Veda I, 113, 11

Disperser of our foes, bringer of joys, born child of Order, to Order ever faithful, convey our offerings to the Gods, O Dawn, and shine on us today for wealth and fortune.

Rig Veda I, 113, 12

Never has Goddess Dawn failed to appear. Again today the generous One has risen. Ever hereafter will she rise each morning. She proceeds by her own power, unaging, deathless.

Rig Veda I, 113, 13

On the sky's borders she appears in splendor. The Goddess has thrown off the robe of darkness. Her well-yoked chariot of tawny horses heralds the approach of Dawn and rouses all men.

Rig Veda I, 113, 14

With her she brings all life-sustaining blessings. Brightly she shines and sheds abroad her radiance. She is the last of countless vanished mornings. She is the first of more bright morns to come.

Rig Veda I, 113, 15
