گزیده ای از متون مقدس آیین باستانی هندو: " اوپانیشادها" -‏ قسمت ۲ از ۲

Beyond the senses are the objects, beyond the objects is the mind, beyond the mind is the intellect, beyond the intellect is the great Atman (Self). Beyond the great Atman is the Unmanifested; beyond the Unmanifested is the Purusha (the Cosmic Soul); beyond the Purusha there is nothing. That is the end, that is the final goal. The Atman (Self), hidden in all beings, does not shine forth; but It is seen by subtle seers through keen and subtle understanding.
