'The Infinite indeed is below, above, behind, before, right and left--it is indeed all this.\n'Now follows the explanation of the Infinite as\nthe I: I am below, I am above, I am behind, before, right and left--I am all this.\n2. 'Next follows the explanation of the Infinite as the Self: Self is below, above, behind, before, right and left--Self is all this.\n'He who sees, perceives, and understands this, loves the Self, delights in the Self, revels in the Self, rejoices in the Self--he becomes a Svar\u00e2g, (an autocrat or self-ruler); he is lord and master in all the worlds.\n'But those who think differently from this, live in perishable worlds, and have other beings for their rulers.\n123:1 Bh\u00fbman is sometimes translated by grandeur, the superlative, the akme. It is the highest point that can be reached, the infinite and the true.\n123:2 This phrase reminds one of the last verse in the No sad \u00e2s\u00eed hymn, where, likewise, the expression of the highest certainty is followed by a misgiving that after all it may be otherwise. The commentator takes yadi v\u00e2 in the sense of, if you ask in the highest sense, then I say no; for the Infinite cannot rest in anything, not even in greatness.","title":"The Upanishads, Part 1 (SBE01): Kh\u00e2ndogya Upanishad...","type":"page"}
