Chapter XV<br />

<strong>The</strong> Attainment of Brahmaloka<br />

Brahma told this knowledge of the Self to Prajapati<br />

(Kasyapa), Prajapati to Manu, Manu to mankind. He<br />

who has studied the Vedas at the house of a teacher,<br />

according to the prescribed rules, during the time left<br />

after the performance of his duties to the teacher; he<br />

who, after leaving the teacher‟s house, has settled down<br />

into a householder‟s life and continued the study of the<br />

Vedas in a sacred spot and made others (i.e. his sons and<br />

disciples) virtuous; he who has withdrawn all the sense-<br />

organs into the Self; he who has not given pain to any<br />

creature except as approved by the scriptures-he who<br />

conducts himself thus, all through his life, reaches the<br />

World of Brahman after death and does not return, yea,<br />

does not return.<br />

End of Chhandogya Upanishad<br />
