1.2.20

'The Self, smaller than small, greater than great, is hidden in the heart of that creature. A man who is free from desires and free from grief, sees the majesty of the Self by the grace of the Creator.'

1.2.20.n1

Cf. Svet. Up. III, 2 0; Taitt. Âr. X, 12, 1.

1.2.20.n2

The commentator translates 'through the tranquillity of the senses,' i.e. dhâtuprasâdât, taking prasâda in the technical sense of samprasâda. As to kratu, desire, or rather, will, see Brih. Âr. IV, 4; 5.
