Just as rivers flow from east and west to merge with one sea, forgetting that they were ever separate rivers, so all beings lose their separateness when they eventually merge into pure Being.

-Chandogya Upanishad, 3.14.1
All this is Brahman.
(This) is born from, dissolves in, and exists in That.
Therefore, one should meditate by becoming calm.
Because a person is identified with (one’s) conviction, (therefore) just as the conviction a person has in this world, so does one become after departing from here. Therefore one should shape one’s conviction.
