“I will now tell you what you need to know to go beyond death and achieve immortality!

___ 2) Brahman is both being and non-being, both manifested and unmanifested.

 

___ 3) It exists throughout all creation, in all hands and feet.

 

___ 4) It dwells in the heads of all beings as their eyes, ears, and mouths.

 

___ 5) It is devoid of any senses, yet Its subtle powers perform all the tasks of the senses.

 

___ 6) Brahman is totally independent, and yet supports all things in the universe.

___ 8) It is inside and outside all beings, always.

 

___ 9) It is both formless and with form.

 

___10) It moves and does not move.

 

___11) The subtlety and mystery of Brahman is incomprehensible to the non-purified mind.

 

___12) To the spiritually ignorant (those who do not know Atma), the Godhead is distant, but to those who do know, It is very near.

 

___13) It appears to be many but is One, undivided.

 

___14) Brahman sends creation out from within Itself, It protects creation, preserves it, and dissolves it.

 

___15) As the Lighter of all lights, Brahman is beyond the darkness of ignorance.

 

___16) This Supreme that dwells in each individual body as Atma is truly Brahman.

 

___17) Brahman, is the True Self Within; It is the Atma which dwells in each and every heart.

 

___18) Brahman is the sole goal of all knowledge; indeed, It is Knowledge Itself!

 

Grow to understand this profound, mysterious truth of Brahman, the Supreme Godhead, and you become worthy to be united with Me.”

 

– Krishna
