Born anew, he is born on a day most auspicious, growing in wisdom in the assembly of men. Wise men and skillful consecrate him with song. Approaching the Gods, the priest calls aloud.<\/p>\n
Rig Veda III, 8, 5<\/p>\n
What deity, said Sakalya, are you identified with in the fixed direction (i.e. overhead)? With the deity fire. In what does fire find its support? Speech. In what does speech find its support? The heart. In what does the heart find its support?<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III, IX-Yajnavalkya and Vidaghdha, 24<\/p>\n
You ghost, said Yajnavalkya, that you think that the heart should be elsewhere than in ourselves! If it were elsewhere than in ourselves, dogs would eat this body or birds tear it to pieces.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III, IX-Yajnavalkya and Vidaghdha, 25<\/p>\n
In what do the body and the heart find their support? asked Sakalya. In the prana. In what does the prana find its support? In the apana. In what does the apana find its support? In the vyana. In what does the vyana find its support? In the udana. In what does the udana find its support? In the samana. Here the Upanishad itself states: This self is That which has been described as Not this, not this. It is imperceptible, for It is never perceived; undecaying, for It never decays; unattached, for It is never attached; unfettered, for It never feels pain and never suffers injury.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III, IX-Yajnavalkya and Vidaghdha, 26<\/p>\n
Speak in his favor! Seize him not, but release him, yours though he be. Let him stay here with all his strength! Have mercy upon him, O powers of destruction, protect him! Grant to him fullness of days, removing all evil!<\/p>\n
