Quotes

 * This [Lifebreath] burns as fire—this as sun;
 * This as rain and Maghavan, this as wind;
 * This as earth and the divine substance;
 * As real and not-real;
 * And what is immortal.
 * 2.5


 * The lifebreath here arises from the self (atman).
 * As this shadow here, upon a man,
 * So this mind is stretched upon lifebreath;
 * And it enters by a path created by the mind.
 * 3.3


 * The origin, entrance, position,
 * the fivefold expansion of lifebreath;
 * how it relates to what's in the body—
 * A man who knows this becomes immortal.
 * 3.12


 * That on which rest the breaths and beings,
 * and, with all the deities, the intelligent self;
 * Whoever knows that, my friend, as the imperishable;
 * He, knowing the whole world,
 * has entered the whole world indeed.
 * 4.11
