"Self-realization is meant to ensure fulfilment for one’s own self. It is not reaching somewhere or getting at something external, like going to the peak of a mountain. The attainment is in dissolving the mind and intelligence, and getting into the very core of oneself. In other words, it is like multiplying everything with zero."

<< Chapter 11 Verse 22-27 >>
<   >

रुद्रादित्या वसवो ये च साध्या-
विश्वेऽश्विनौ मरुतश्चोष्मपाश्च ।
गन्धर्वयक्षासुरसिद्धसङ्घा-
वीक्षन्ते त्वां विस्मिताश्चैव सर्वे ।। ११.२२ ।।
रूपं महत्ते बहुवक्त्रनेत्रं-
महाबाहो बहुबाहूरुपादम् ।
बहूदरं बहुदंष्ट्राकरालं-
दृष्ट्वा लोकाः प्रव्यथितास्तथाहम् ।। ११.२३ ।।
नभः स्पृशं दीप्तमनेकवर्णं-
व्यात्ताननं दीप्तविशालनेत्रम् ।
दृष्ट्वा हि त्वां प्रव्यथितान्तरात्मा
धृतिं न विन्दामि शमं च विष्णो ।। ११.२४ ।।
दंष्ट्राकरालानि च ते मुखानि
दृष्ट्वैव कालानलसन्निभानि ।
दिशो न जाने न लभे च शर्म
प्रसीद देवेश जगन्निवास ।। ११.२५ ।।
अमी च त्वां धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्राः
सर्वे सहैवावनिपालसङ्घैः ।
भीष्मो द्रोणः सूतपुत्रस्तथासौ
सहास्मदीयैरपि योधमुख्यैः ।। ११.२६ ।।
वक्त्राणि ते त्वरमाणा विशन्ति
दंष्ट्राकरालानि भयानकानि ।
केचिद्विलग्ना दशनान्तरेषु
सन्दृश्यन्ते चूर्णितैरुत्तमाङ्गैः ।। ११.२७ ।।

The whole sight, he is amazed, is set to instrument mass destruction. It unnerves him. The entire array of the armies was seen gushing into the wide open mouth of Destruction. Bheeshma, Drona, Karna and also all the rest were being swept in the tide, like rivers surging forward to meet the sea. All the worlds were gushing towards the fiery mouth of Dissolution, like countless moths flying into blazing fire.
