Brhadaranyaka Upanisad 1.3.28
From delusion lead me to truth
From darkness lead me to light
From death lead me to immortality
Isa Upanisad 11
He who knows both knowledge and action,
with action overcomes death and with
knowledge reaches immortality
Mundaka Upanisad 2.2.5
In him are woven the sky and the earth
and all the regions of the air, and in him
rest the mind and all the powers of life.
Know him as the ONE and leave aside all other words.
He is the bridge of immortality
Katha Upanisad 6.7
Beyond the senses is the mind,
and beyond the mind is reason, its essence.
Beyond reason is the Spirit in man,
and beyond this is the Spirit of the Universe, the evolver of all
Katha Upanisad 6.10
When the five senses and the mind are still,
and reason itself rests in silence,
then begins the Path supreme
Mundaka Upanisad 2.2.8
And when he is seen in his immanence and transcendence,
then the ties that have bound the heart are unloosenend,
the doubts of the mind vanish,
and the law of Karma works no more
