What is bliss, O Yajnavalkya ? It is the mind, Your Majesty, said Yajnavdkya. Verily, Your Majesty, with the mind a man desires and woos a woman; then a son resembling him is born of her and he is the cause of bliss. The mind, O Emperor, is the Supreme Brahman. The mind never deserts him who, knowing this, meditates upon it; all beings eagerly approach him; and being a god, he attains the gods. I give you a thousand cows with a bull as large as an elephant, said Emperor Janaka. Yajnavalkya replied: My father was of the opinion that one should not accept gifts from a disciple without fully instructing him.<\/p>\n

What is stability, O Yajnavalkya? It is the heart, said Yajnavalkya. Verily, Your Majesty, the heart is the abode of all beings and the heart, Your Majesty, is the support of all beings. The heart, O Emperor, is the Supreme Brahman. The heart never deserts him who, knowing this, meditates upon it; all beings eagerly approach him; and being a god, he attains the gods. I give you a thousand cows with a bull as large as an elephant, said Emperor Janaka.
