Svetasvatara Upanishad
To realize God, first control the outgoing senses and harness the mind. Then meditate upon the light in the heart of the fire--meditate, that is, upon pure consciousness as distinct from the ordinary consciousness of the intellect. Thus the Self, the Inner Reality, may be seen behind physical appearance.
Control your mind so that the Ultimate Reality, the self-luminous Lord, may be revealed. Strive earnestly for eternal bliss.
With the help of the mind and the intellect, keep the senses from attaching themselves to objects of pleasure.
They will then be punfied by the light of the Inner Reality,
and that light will be revealed.
The wise control their minds, and unite their hearts with the infinite, the omniscient, the all-pervading Lord.
Only discriminating souls practice spiritual disciplines.
Great is the glory of the self-luminous being, the Inner Reality.
Hear, all ye children of immortal bliss, also ye gods who dwell in the high heavens: Follow only in the footsteps of the illumined ones, and by continuous meditation merge both mind and intellect in the eternal Brahman.
The glorious Lord will be revealed to you.
