The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

Chapter XV
Ultimate Liberation
"Around a dying person afflicted with illness, my dear,
his relatives gather and ask: „Do you know me? Do you
know me?‟ He knows them as long as his speech is not
merged in his mind, his mind in his prana (breath), his
prana in heat (fire) and the heat in the Highest Deity.

"But when his speech is merged in his mind, his mind
in his prana, his prana in heat and the heat in the
Highest Deity, then he does not know them.

"Now, that which is the subtle essence-in it all that
exists has its self. That is the True. That is the Self. That
thou art, Svetaketu."
"Please, venerable Sir, give me further instruction," said
the son"
So be it, my dear;" the father replied.
