As from a blazing fire, thousands of sparks of fire fly out,
so these various beings you see in the world all spring forth from Brahman and
go back to Him again. Pure, higher than the highest, He has no body, no breath,
no mind; He is inside and outside everything. Yet, from Brahman have come your
life, your mind, eyes, ears, hands, feet, space and air, light and water, and
the very earth itself. It is He who binds all these together.
Knowledge will be your bow. Your mind, sharpened by worship
and meditation, will be the arrow. Fixing it on the bow, with full
concentration, draw back and hit the target, the Indestructible Brahman.
There is a sacred word – OM
– which is the bow; your own self is the arrow and Brahman is the target.
Without trembling, hit the mark, and like the arrow, lose yourself in It! Then
all the knots of the heart are broken, all doubts disappear and all actions
trail away when He is realized, who is the farthest away of the far away, the
nearest of the near, the light of lights.
