The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

6
Ghora, of the line of Angirasa, communicated this
teaching to Krishna, the son of Devaki-and it quenched
Krishna‟s thirst for any other knowledge-and said:
"When a man approaches death he should take refuge in
these three thoughts: „Thou art indestructible (akshata),‟
„Thou art unchanging (aprachyuta),‟ and „Thou art the
subtle prana.‟ "On this subject there are two Rik-verses:
7
"They (i.e. the knowers of Brahman) see everywhere the
Supreme Light, which shines in Brahman, which is all-
pervading like the light of day and which belongs to the
primeval Seed. „Perceiving the higher light in the sunwhich
is above the darkness of ignorance-as the higher
light in the heart, perceiving the Supreme Light which is
higher than all lights, we have reached the Highest
Light, the Sun, the most luminous among the gods, yea,
we have reached the Highest Light, the Sun, the most
luminous among the gods."
