Attaining Peace
"Therefore . . . his cognition is well poised, whose senses are completely restrained from their objects.
"That which is night to all beings, in that the disciplined man wakes; that in which all beings wake, is night to the Atman-cognizing Muni (the Self-realized wise one).
"Not the desirer of desires, but that man attains Peace, in whom all desires merge even as rivers flow into the ocean which is full and unmoving.
"That man attains Peace who lives devoid of longing, freed from all desires and without the feeling of ‘I’ and mine.
"This.., is the Brahman (the Absolute, Pure Spirit) state. Attaining this, none is bewildered. Being established in it even at the death-hour, a man gets into oneness with Brahman." **
