Joy and Fulfillment

JOY OF THE SOUL
    Words cannot describe the joy of the soul whose impurities are cleansed in deep contemplation-who is one with his atman, his own Spirit. Only those who feel this joy know what it is. [Krishna Yajur Veda, Maitra Upanishad 6.34. upm, 103]
You are in truth the visible Brahman. I will proclaim you as the visible Brahman. I will speak the right. I will speak the truth. May this protect me. May it protect my teacher! May this protect me. May it protect my teacher! Aum, peace, peace, peace! [Krishna Yajur Veda, Tait. Upa.1.1.1. ve, 757].
     The one who has not turned away from wickedness, who has no peace, who is not concentrated, whose mind is restless-he cannot realize the atman, who is known by wisdom. [Krishna Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad 2.24. verse, 710]
    May He protect us both. May He be pleased with us both. May we work together with vigor; may our study make us illumined. May there be no dislike between us. Aum, peace, peace. [Krishna Yajur Veda, Taittiraya Upanishad 2.1. Invocation. upr, 541].
Prayer for Fulfillment:

Finally, he (the udgatri priest) should meditate on himself and then on the object desired and chant the praise correctly. Thus will be quickly fulfilled for him the desire, desiring which he may offer the hymn of praise, yea, desiring which he may offer the hymn of praise. [Sama Veda, Chan. Upa. I, III - Meditation on the Udgitha as the Sun and the Vyana, 8 – 12]

MOKSHA

The rites of oblation, O lovers of truth, which the sages divined from the sacred verses, were variously expounded in the threefold Veda. Perform them with constant care. This is your path to the world of holy action. Those who in penance and faith dwell in the forest, peaceful and wise, living a mendicant's life, free from passion depart through the door of the sun to the place of the immortal Person, the imperishable Self. [Atharva Veda, Mundaka Upanishad 1.2.11. ve p. 415 ]

    Let him approach with humility a guru who is learned in the scriptures and established in Brahman. To such a seeker, whose mind is tranquil and senses controlled, and who has approached him in the proper manner, let the learned guru impart the science of Brahman, through which the true, Imperishable Being is realized. [Atharva Veda, Mundaka Upanishad 1.2.12n13. eh, p. 157]

    That which is neither internal consciousness nor external consciousness nor both together, which does not consist solely in compact consciousness, which is neither conscious nor unconscious, which is invisible, unapproachable, impalpable, indefinable, unthinkable, unnameable, whose very essence consists of the experience of its own self, which absorbs all diversity, is tranquil and benign, without a second, which is what they call the fourth state -- that is the atman. This it is which should be known. [Atharva Veda,     Mandukya Upanishad 2.7. VE, P. 723].

  Revealed and yet dwelling hidden in the cave is that which is called the great Abode. Whatever moves and breathes and blinks is fixed therein. Know this as being and also nonbeing, the desire of all hearts, transcending knowledge, best beloved of every creature. Burning as a flame and subtlest of the subtle, in which are firmly fixed the worlds and their peoples -- that is the imperishable Brahman. That is life and word and spirit, the true, the immortal! That, my friend, is to be known -- know that! [Atharva Veda, Mundaka Upanishad 2.2.1-2, VE, P. 685].
Faith:

Vajasravasa, desiring rewards, performed the Visvajit sacrifice, in which he gave away all his property. He had a son named Nachiketa. When the gifts were being distributed, faith entered into the heart of Nachiketa, who was still a boy. He said to himself: Joyless, surely, are the worlds to which he goes who gives away cows no longer able to drink, to eat, to give milk, or to calve. He said to his father: Father! To whom will you give me? He said this a second and a third time. Then his father replied: Unto death I will give you. [Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter I, 1 – 4]
