The Upanishads ~ Sacred Song. In the city of Brahman is a secret dwelling, the lotus of the heart. Within this dwelling is a space, and within that space is fulfilment of our desires. What is within that space should be longed for and realised. As great as the infinite space beyond is the space within the lotus of the heart. Both heaven and earth are contained in that inner space, both fire and air, sun and moon, lightning and stars. Whether we know it in this world or know it not, everything is contained in that inner space. Never fear that old age will invade that city, never fear this inner treasure of all reality will either and decay. This knows no age when the body ages, this knows no dying when the body dies. This is the real city of Brahman, this is the Self, free from old age, from death and grief, hunger and thirst. In the Self all desires are fulfilled.
