The Upanishads (Easwaran's Classics of Indian Spirituality Book 2)

by Eknath Easwaran

You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. [ Brihadaranyaka IV.4.5 ]

“There is no joy in the finite; there is joy only in the Infinite.”

Know the Self as lord of the chariot, The body as the chariot itself, The discriminating intellect as The charioteer, and the mind as reins. 4 The senses, say the wise, are the horses; Selfish desires are the roads they travel.

Lead me from the unreal to the Real. Lead me from darkness to light. Lead me from death to immortality.
