The Compassionate Friends Grief support for the death of a child. An international gateway to resources for life-threatening illness and end of life care. There is as much in that little space within the heart as there is in the whole world outside. What lies in that space does not decay when the body decays, nor does it fall when the body falls. That space is the home of the Spirit.
Every desire is there.
The Upanishads are Vedanta, a book of knowledge in a higher degree even than the Vedas, but knowledge in the profounder Indian sense of the word, JnanaJnana. And because it is only by an integral knowing of the self that this kind of direct knowledge can be made complete, it was the self of the Vedantic sages sought to know, to live in and to be one with it by identity. And through this endeavor they came easily to see that the self in us is one with the Universal Self of all things and that this self again is the same as God and Brahman, a transcendent Being or Existence, and they beheld, felt, lived in the inmost truth of man s inner and outer existence by the light of this one and unifying vision. There is in each of us an ancient force that takes and ancient force that gives. A man finds little difficulty facing the place within himself where the taking force dwells, but it is almost impossible for him to see into the giving force without changing into something other than man.
