Taittriya

I WILL speak words of truth and the words of the divine law shall be on my lips. … I, i..Master and disciple. May the light of sacred knowledge illumine us, and may we attain the glory of wisdom.

O Lord, let me come unto Thee and come Thou unto me, O Lord.
In thy waters, O my Lord, may I wash my sins away.

What is needful?

Righteousness, and sacred learning and teaching.
Truth, and sacred learning and teaching.
Meditation, and sacred learning and teaching.
Self-control, and sacred learning and teaching.
Peace, and sacred learning and teaching.
Ritual, and sacred learning and teaching.
Humanity, and sacred learning and teaching.

Satyavacas, the Truthful, says : “ Truth.” ‘

Taponitya, the Austere, says : “ Austerity.”

But Naka, who is beyond pain, says : “ Learning and teaching, For they are austerity, for they are austerity.” Who knows Brahman as reality, consciousness and joy attains Brahman.

Who denies God, denies himself. Who affirms God, affirms himself.

Joy comes from God. Who could live and who could breathe if the joy of Brahman filled not the universe ?

If a man places a gulf between himself and God, this gulf will bring fear.
But if a man finds the support of the Invisible and Ineffable, he is free from fear.

Words and mind go to Him, but reach Him not and return.
But he who knows the joy of Brahman, fears no more.
