                                            "Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart.
                                         Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes
                                                  Lives in the Self. He is the source of love
                                       And may be known through love but not through thought
                                                       He is the goal of life. Attain this goal!"
                                                                   (Mundaka Upanishad)

                                                     “All is change in the world of the senses,
                                                   But changeless is the supreme Lord of Love.
                                                        Meditate on him, be absorbed by him,
                                                      Wake up from this dream of separateness.”
                                                                  (Shvetashvatara Upanishad)

                                                       “O mysterious and incomprehensible Spirit!
                                    “In the depths of my heart, there is only You—You, for all time.”
