Gnosis ~ Knowledge through experience of Spirit.

"This is my self within the heart, smaller than the grain of rice, than a barley corn, than a mustard seed, than a grain of millent or than kernel of grain of millet. This is myself within the heart, greater than the earth, greater than the atmosphere, greater than the sky, greater than these worlds. Containing all the works, containing all desires, containing all odors, containing all the tastes, encompassing this whole world, without speed, without concern, this is the self of mine within the heart; this Brahman. Into him, I shall enter, on departing hence". Chandogya Upanishad.
