Brahman alone is real, the world is the appearance [of Brahman]; and there is ultimately no difference between Brahman and Atman, individual self.
If he does not know It (Atman) here, a great destruction awaits him.
Having realized Atman . . . one is freed from the jaws of death.
Atman is not born, nor does It die. It is not killed nor is It the killer. It is not bound nor does It cause anyone's bondage. It is neither liberated nor the giver of Liberation. The jiva, in reality, is the Supreme Self; all else besides is unreal.
The knower of Atman transcends grief.
Who but the Atman is capable of removing the bonds of ignorance, passion and self-interested action?
