3.1.6

'Yâjnavalkya,' said he, 'since the sky is, as it were, without a support, through what support does the sacrificer go to heaven?' 'Through the mind—through the moon, which is the (real) priest called Brahmâ.footnote{Who supervises the functions.} The mind of the sacrificer is the Brahmâ. This mind is the moon; the moon is the Brahmâ; this (moon) is liberation; this (liberation) is emancipation.' So far about the ways of emancipation; now about the meditation based on resemblance.
