Vedic Verses for 11/21/08

Inconceivable is this supreme atman, immeasurable, unborn, inscrutable, unthinkable, He whose Self is infinite space. He alone remains awake when the universe is dissolved, and out of this space He awakens the world consisting of thought.

Krishna Yajur Veda, Maitra Upanishad 6.17. ve, 667

Truth is the Supreme, the Supreme is Truth. Through Truth men never fall from the heavenly world, because Truth belongs to the saints. Therefore, they rejoice in Truth.

Krishna Yajur Veda, Mahanarayana Upanishad 505. ve, 439

The supreme mystery in the Veda's end, which has been declared in former times, should not be given to one not tranquil, nor again to one who is not a son or a pupil. To one who has the highest devotion for God, and for his spiritual teacher even as forGod, to him these matters which have been declared become manifest if he be a great soul-yea, become manifest if he be a great soul!

Krishna Yajur Veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad 6.22-23. uph, 411

What is needful? Righteousness and sacred learning and teaching. Truth and sacred learning and teaching. Meditation and sacred learning and teaching. Self-control and sacred learning and teaching. Peace and sacred learning and teaching. Ritual and sacred learning and teaching. Humanity and sacred learning and teaching.

Krishna Yajur Veda, Taittiraya Upanishad 1.9. upm, 109

Pursuit of the duties of the stage of life to which each one belongs-that, verily, is the rule! Others are like branches of a stem. With this, one tends upwards; otherwise, downwards.

Krishna Yajur Veda, Maitra Upanishad 4.3. bo upr, p. 810
