7.26.1 For one who sees thus, reflects thus, and understands thus, life-breath comes from the Self, hope from the Self, memory from the Self, space from the Self, fire from the Self, water from the Self, appearance and disappearance from the Self, food from the Self, strength from the Self, understanding from the Self, contemplation from the Self, awareness from the Self, resolve from the Self, mind from the Self, speech from the Self, name from the Self, sacred formulas from the Self, rites from the Self. All this comes from the Self alone.
7.26.2 On this there is a verse:The seer sees no death,no sickness and no sorrow.The seer sees everythingand gains everything in every way.That one becomes onefold, threefold, fivefold, sevenfold, ninefold, and again is remembered as elevenfold; a hundred and ten and one, and twenty thousand. When nourishment is pure, the inner being becomes pure; when the inner being is pure, remembrance becomes steadfast. On attaining remembrance, all the knots are loosened. To him, whose impurities had been crushed away, the revered Sanatkumara showed the far shore of darkness. They call him Skanda; they call him Skanda.
