"Once the senses have been brought back from their pastures and have been shut up in the stable, then by your own self you will see the highest eternal Self, the Self of All, the Great Self, like a flame without smoke... Just as a mighty tree full of flowers and fruits and many branches does not know for itself where its flowers and fruits can be found, so the little self does not know where it is going nor where it comes from. But other is the innermost Self of the self, who watches over all things and contemplates the Self through your own self, knowing all things, become without self. like a snake that has stripped its skin, strip yourself of everything that is bad.” (The Mahabharata, 12
