As a Horse Shakes Free

From the Divine Dark to the manifest
To the Divine Dark I pass again.
As a horse shakes free its mane, I have
Shaken off all evil. Freeing myself
From the bonds of birth and death as the moon
Escapes from Rahu's mouth, I have attained
The pure realm of Brahman; I have attained
The pure realm of Brahman.

Brahman is my home. I shall not lose it.
Truly I shall not be lost again.

-Chandogya Upanishad
