the Self is hidden in the heart...

The Self is hidden in the lotus of the heart.

Those who see themselves in all creatures go day by day into the world of Brahman hidden in the heart.

Established in peace, they rise above body-consciousness to the supreme light of the Self.

Immortal, free from fear, this Self is Brahman, called the True.

Beyond the mortal and the immortal, he binds both worlds together.

Those who know this live day after day in heaven in this very life.
