When your last breath arrives, Grammar can do nothing.

By knowing Brahman one achieves Immortality here [in this body]. There is no other way to its attainment.

Brahman alone is real, the world is the appearance [of Brahman]; and there is ultimately no difference between Brahman and Atman, individual self.

He who knows this Brahman, hidden in the cave of the heart, cuts asunder even here the knot of ignorance.

Loud speech, profusion of words, and possessing skillfulness in expounding scriptures are merely for the enjoyment of the learned. They do not lead to liberation.

Just as a stone, a tree, a straw, grain, a mat, a cloth, a pot, and so on, when burned, are reduced to earth (from which they came), so the body and its sense organs, on being burned in the fire of Knowledge, become Knowledge and are absorbed in Brahman, like darkness in the light of the sun.

But the jiva [living being] is endowed with ego and his knowledge is limited, whereas Ishwar is without ego and is omniscient.

To be free from bondage the wise person must practise discrimination between One-Self and the ego-self. By that alone you will become full of joy, recognising Self as Pure Being, Consciousness and Bliss.

Reality can be experienced only with the eye of understanding, not just by a scholar.

The world, like a dream full of attachments and aversions seems real until the awakening.

Self-Knowledge is the best of all forms of knowledge; it is the highest of all sciences, because through it one attains Immortality.

What delusion, what sorrow, can there be for him who beholds that oneness [of the jiva and Brahman]?

By reflection, reasoning and instructions of teachers, the truth is known. Not by ablutions, not by making donations, nor by performing hundreds of breath control exercises.

What is enquiry into the Truth? It is the firm conviction that the Self is real, and all, other than That, is unreal.

I went my whole life without winning anything and now all of a sudden after years of hard work my dreams were coming true all at once and I didn’t know how to deal with it. It felt like the world was changing its relationship with me but I had stayed the same.

Give up identification with this mass of flesh as well as with what thinks it a mass. Both are intellectual imaginations. Recognise your true self as undifferentiated awareness, unaffected by time, past, present or future, and enter Peace.

The gods and seers of yore who knew It (Brahman) attained eternal peace—and not others.

If he does not know It (Atman) here, a great destruction awaits him.

He who thus knows this Upanishad shakes off all sins and becomes firmly established in the infinite and the highest Heaven.

He who knows that imperishable Being, bright, without shadow, without body, without colour, verily obtains the Supreme.
