Self-Realisation from Isha Upanishad


 

Verses 6 – 7*
                                                              SELF-REALISATION

Brahman is, subjectively, Atman, the Self or immutable existence
of all that is in the universe. Everything that changes in us, mind,
life, body, character, temperament, action, is not our real and
unchanging self, but becomings of the Self in the movement,
jagat¯ı.
In Nature, therefore, all things that exist, animate or inanimate,
are becomings of the one Self of all. All these different
creatures are one indivisible existence. This is the truth each
being has to realise.
When this unity has been realised by the individual in every
part of his being, he becomes perfect, pure, liberated from ego
and the dualities, possessed of the entire divine felicity.
ATMAN
Atman, our true self, is Brahman; it is pure indivisible Being, selfluminous,
self-concentrated in consciousness, self-concentrated
in force, self-delighted. Its existence is light and bliss. It is timeless,
spaceless and free
