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
