Difficult to cross, only men of learning and wisdom and understanding succeed in crossing it. Crossing it, thou wilt succeed in freeing thyself from every attachment, acquiring a tranquil heart, knowing the Soul, and becoming pure in every respect.

A billion years are but as a day to the Hindu mind.

Do thou also act in the same way, devoted to the religion of Truth."" "'Yudhishthira said, "Of what behaviour must a man be, of what acts, of what kind of knowledge, and to what must he be devoted, for attaining to Brahma's place which transcends Prakriti and which is unchangeable?"
Our eyes hereaway are mere cinders to these glowing churley bits of flaming sulphur; and then that strange look of the shining face, just as if she yearned to enter into his very soul, ay, as the souls of these black creatures go up and form a part of Brahma's spirit, that's all over the earth."

The priests are very proud of their high birth, and they call themselves Brahmins.
Merging the senses having the mind for their sixth and all the objects of the senses into the inner Soul by the aid of the Understanding, and reflecting upon the three states of consciousness, viz., the object thought, the act of thinking, and the thinker, and abstaining by contemplation from every kind of enjoyment, equipping his mind with the knowledge that he is Brahma's self, laying aside at the same time all consciousness of puissance, and thereby making his soul perfectly tranquil, the Yogin obtains that to which immortality inheres.
It cannot be otherwise. Do but my behest. Nobody in the world will find any fault in thee." ""Narada continued, 'Thus addressed, that lady became very much affrighted.

The divine Brahma also, that Lord of the lord of all creatures, remained silent.
