Jambü-jyoti
76. [Those who believe in Purusa, say in the Śvetāśvatara-Upanisad 3.15 :] "Everything is Purusa, everything that has been, and everything that will be. Also, he rules over immortality, for by food he springs up".

77. [Isa-Upanisad 5] "That which moves, that which moves not, that which is far away, that which is close by, that which is inside all this, that which is outside all this"..
78. [Śvetäśvatara-Upanisad 3.9 ] "Nothing is greater than this, nothing is smaller or mightier than this. It stands like a tree sustained in heaven, alone. The entire universe is full of Purusa".
79. [Brahmabindu-Upanisad 12 ] "It is one only, the true soul. Then everything is dissolved [in it]".
80. [Bhagavadgītā 15.16 ] "There are two "persons" in the world. One is perishable and one is imperishable. The perishable is all creatures. The imperishable is said to be aloof".
81. [Others say: ] "Even though scientific books are available, even though [competent] speakers are still left, nevertheless, if they do not know the Self, men are certainly killing themselves".
82. "The Self is certainly the divinity, it is everything. Everything consists in the Self. It is, of course, the Self that produces karmic activity of embodied beings".
83. "The Self is the creator, the Self is the bestower of happiness and suffering. The soul is heaven and hell. The soul is this entire world".
84. [Bhagavadgită 5.14] "The Lord does not create the activity and the actions of the world. The bond between one's actions and their result takes place as a result of nature".
85. "Since the nature of the Self is knowledge, it arises by itself as cognition. Therefore, and also because it arises by its own activity, the Self is called 'self-existent"".
86. [Bhagavadgītā 2.23 and 2.24] "Swords cannot cut it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, wind cannot dry it..."
87. "It cannot be cut, it cannot be broken, it is said to be indescribable. It is permanent, omnipresent, firm, unmoved and primeval".
