MUNDAKOPANISHAD

Realization of the Soul cannot be attained by a man who has not strength and a vigilant spirit. It cannot be attained by austerities without devotion.

But if with understanding a man strives with these aids, his soul enters the Abode of Brahman.

III-(2)-4

Knowledge and discipline are mutually complementary. Vedanta explains the true nature of what we seek. Yoga, i.e., detachment and self-discipline, purifies the mind and enables it to perceive the Truth. Those whose understanding has been thus enlightened as well as purified become one with the Universal Spirit. They join the Supreme Being and lose them selves in Him even as all the rivers join and lose them selves in the great ocean.

ll-(2)-6, 8

Here ends our little book. Let us bow to the Rishis.
