Fifth Valli

V. “The sage who meditates upon his body as an eleven-gated city for the Self, without beginning, and of changeless thought, ceases to sorrow, is already liberated, and liberated once for all. This is that.

Various manifestations of Puiusha or Brahman.

“This is the all-permeating Self; it is the sun in the firmament, the air in middle space, the fire on this earth as its altar ; it is the guest in the house ; it dwells in men, it dwells in the gods, it dwells in the sacrifices, it dwells in the sky ; it is born in the waters in the shapes of aquatic animals, it is born on the earth as barley, rice, and every other plant, it is born in the sacrificial elements, it is born on the mountains in the form of rivers. It is the true, the infinite.

“It impels the breath upwards, it impels the descending air of life downwards. All the senses bring their offerings to this adorable being seated in the midst of the heart.

“When the spirit that is in the perishing body is parted from it, what is left of the body ? This is that.

“No mortal lives by his breath or by the descending vital air. They live by another principle in which these vital airs reside.”
