This Atman cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, or by intelligence, or by much hearing of sacred books. It is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter II, 23<\/p>\n
He who has not first turn away from wickedness, who is not tranquil and subdued and whose mind is not at peace, cannot attain Atman. It is realised only through the Knowledge of Reality.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter II, 24<\/p>\n
Two there are who dwell within the body, in the intellect, the supreme akasa of the heart, enjoying the sure rewards of their own actions. The knowers of Brahman describe them as light and shade, as do those householders who have offered oblations in the Five Fires and also those who have thrice performed the Nachiketa sacrifice.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter III, 1<\/p>\n
Your circling seasons, nights succeeding days, your summer, O Earth, your splashing rains, our autumn, your winter and frosty season yielding to spring–may each and all produce for us their milk!<\/p>\n
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 36<\/p>\n
Men pray to him, yet he needs no asking; as his mind has grasped all things. He goes as one who knows the first word and the last, with mind composed.<\/p>\n
