Heaven (i.e. Brahman, dwelling in the heart).<br />

4<br />

"Now, this serene being, after rising from this physical<br />

body and attaining the Highest Light, reaches his own<br />

true form. This is the Self." Thus he (i.e. the teacher,<br />

questioned by his pupils) spoke. Continuing, he said:<br />

"This is the immortal, the fearless. This is Brahman.<br />

And of this Brahman the name is Satyam, the True."<br />

5<br />

This name Satyam consists of three syllables: Sat, ti<br />

and yam. That which is Sat signifies the Immortal; and<br />

that which is ti is the mortal; and yam binds them both.<br />

Because this syllable binds both, therefore it is called<br />

yam. He who knows this goes every day in deep sleep<br />

to Heaven (i.e. Brahman, dwelling in the heart).<br />
