[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 85585, member: 4990"] [b]Re: Q&A with Sant Jagjit Singh ji Harkhowal[/b] [COLOR=DarkOrchid][B]The Upanishads: Meditate to Find Gnosis of the One[/B][/COLOR] All is change [samsara] in the world of the senses, But changeless is the supreme Lord of Love. Meditate on him, be absorbed in him. Wake up from this dream of separateness. Know God and all fetters will fall away. No longer identifying yourself With the body, go beyond birth and death. All your desires will be fulfilled in him Who is One without a second. Know him to be enshrined in your heart always. Truly there is nothing more in Life to know. Meditate and realise this world Is filled with the presence of God. -[COLOR=Teal]-- The Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Hindu Scripture "The Upanishads", Eknath Easwaran translation[/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=Plum]Rig Veda Samhita[/COLOR][/CENTER] [/CENTER] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=Plum][Translated into English by Pravesh K.
