Speke, John Hanning, 1827-1864

"The Upanishads"

It is through the help of this mind that we can
think and meditate on Brahman; and when by constant thought of Him the mind
becomes purified, then like a polished mirror it can reflect His Divine Glory.

VI
That Brahman is called Tadvanam (object of adoration). He is to
be worshipped by the name Tadvanam. He who knows Brahman thus,
is loved by all beings.
Brahman is the object of adoration and the goal of all beings.
For this reason he should be worshipped and meditated upon as
Tadvanam. Whoever knows Him in this aspect becomes one with Him,
and serves as a clear channel through which the blessings of
Brahman flow out to others. The knower of God partakes of all
His lovable qualities and is therefore loved by all true
devotees.

VII
The disciple asked: O Master, teach me the Upanishad. (The
teacher replied:) The Upanishad has been taught thee. We have
certainly taught thee the Upanishad about Brahman.

VIII
The Upanishad is based on tapas (practice of the control of body,
mind and senses), dama (subjugation of the senses), karma (right
performance of prescribed actions).
