Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

BRAHMAN OF THE UPANISHADS

Swami Sivananda

Brahman is the only Supreme Reality, whence the phenomenal world evolves. Behind the changing phenomena there is the unchanging Noumenon or Brahman. This Noumenon is the same as the Oversoul of Emerson, the Unknowable of Herbert Spencer, the great Mind of James Steams, the Father in Heaven of the Christians, the Dharmakaya of the Buddhists, the Brahman of the Hindus, and the Tao of the Chinese, the Good of Plato, the transcendental Thing-in-Itself of Kant, the Will of Schopenhauer, the Substance of Spinoza. Brahman is transcendental intuition shining by itself without implying any process of knowledge. Brahman is self-shining, imperishable, immaculate, all-pervading and impartite. The non-dual, absolute consciousness alone really exists for ever..

You will also be tested by God for your sincerity and patience. He will make you utterly
helpless and watch and see whether you have devotion for them or not in such straitened
circumstances. We cannot say exactly what form these trials will take. But the sincere devotee is
never afraid of these tests.
A grim endurance of all vicissitudes and a dogged resolution to persevere to the end are
essential if one has to realise the Ideal. For indeed, rough and rugged is the march on the steep and
narrow way!
Swami Chidananda,

The obstacles to meditation can be met by meditation alone, practised repeatedly with undaunted vigour.

- Swami Krishnananda
