The bright and great light, shining with immense glory, is worshipped by the gods, for it is from this that the sun derives its radiance. Yogis perceive this as the eternal divine presence.
From Venus, the Absolute arises and grows by Venus. That Venus, amidst the lights, remains unheated yet heats others. Yogis perceive that eternal blessed one.
The waters, then from the waters, in the midst of the ocean, both gods have taken refuge in the sky. He, aligned and opposite, wearing, supports both the earth and the heaven. Yogis see him, the eternal blessed one.
Both gods uphold the earth and the heavens, along with the directions and the bright world. Consequently, the directions and rivers flow, and the great oceans are established. Yogis perceive him as the blessed eternal one.
In the wheel of the chariot stands Dhruva, known for his imperishable deeds. Horses carry the divine, ageless figure with a banner in the sky. Yogis perceive this eternal and blessed presence.
The true form of the divine cannot be perceived by the eyes or through likeness. It is through understanding, mind, and heart that one knows and becomes immortal. The yogis perceive the eternal divine.
The twelve groups of yogis move through the terrible river protected by the gods, and then the rulers perceive the eternal divine presence as sweet as honey.
The bee collects and drinks honey for half a month. The lord has created offerings within all beings. The yogis perceive the eternal and blessed one.
The wingless ones, having approached the golden-leaved fig tree, transform into birds and fly as directed. The yogis perceive the eternal and blessed one.
From the infinite, infinite manifestations arise; when infinite manifestations are removed from the infinite, the infinite still remains. The yogis perceive that eternal divine presence.
Therefore, indeed, the wind came from that and is always engaged in it. From that, both fire and moon, and in that, the life force is spread.
All should indeed know that we are unable to express it. The yogis perceive the eternal blessed one.
The yogis perceive the eternal divine, who is beyond the sun and moon, and controls the life force and breath.
A swan, while uttering, does not lift one foot from the water. If he is always considered a priest, he becomes neither mortal nor immortal. The yogis perceive him as the eternal divine being.
Thus, the great soul, the god, who utters the fire, is the man. Whoever indeed knows that man, his soul does not perish here. Yogis perceive that divine eternal being.
The yogis perceive the eternal divine, who, with the speed of mind, continuously flies with thousands of wings, even if he arrives at the center in the middle.
The form of the divine is not visible to the ordinary sight; only those with pure essence can perceive it. The wise should contemplate it with their mind, and in doing so, they find refuge and become immortal. Yogis clearly see the eternal divine being.
Serpents, like caves, conceal themselves; mortals, through their own discipline and conduct, become deluded and confused. People are misled as the path leads to fear. However, yogis perceive the eternal divine.
Always honored by both the good and the bad, how can death be immortality? In the bond of truth and untruth, the source of both the real and the unreal is indeed one. The yogis perceive him as the eternal divine.
Neither the good nor the wicked can claim exclusivity over this knowledge; it is equally accessible to all men. This knowledge of immortality, when endowed with divinity, becomes the nectar that one should indeed desire. Yogis perceive him as the eternal blessed one.
Excessive words do not disturb his heart; neither does the lack of learning or unoffered sacrificial fire. The mind should achieve divine lightness, and the wise ones gain the name of wisdom. Yogis perceive him as the blessed eternal being.
Thus, one who perceives the self in all beings, even in diverse situations, what is there for him to grieve beyond that? (5-45-22)
Just as a great well flooded with water serves all purposes, so do all the Vedas serve the Brahmana who knows.
The great soul, though of the size of a thumb, is not visible as he resides in the heart. He is unborn and moves tirelessly day and night. Knowing him, the sage remains content and at peace.
I am truly your mother, father, and son once more. I am also the essence of everything, encompassing both what exists and what does not.
I am the grandfather, the ancient one, the father, and the son, O Bharata. You are only situated within yourself; you are not mine, nor am I yours.
The self is truly my foundation and origin; I am proclaimed by the Veda as eternal and steadfast. Subtler than the subtlest, with a clear mind, I am awake in all creatures. They recognize the father of all beings situated in the lotus.
