Chapter-8
The Imperishable Brahman
24. Fire, light, daytime, the bright fortnight, the six months of the (sun’s) Northern course departing by this path, the Brahman-knowers go to Brahman. When there is heat of fire in the body, the bright fortnight and the day outside, and any one of the six months of the (sun’s) northern course (216-220), the knowers of Brahman who leave their body at such a propitious time, become one with Brahman. Know, O Arjuna, this occasion has such power that it is the royal road to reach the destination. Here the first step is fire, the second its flame, third is the day-time, the fourth the bright fortnight, the last step the six months in the northern course, going by which the yogis attain the state of liberation. This is the best time to depart, called the Archira path. I shall now tell you the inauspicious time, listen (221-225). |
