The Limits of Self

"The space enclosed within a certain jar is really the same as the infinite space filling the universe, and the conception of it as limited by the jar nowise limits the infinitude of space itself; and so the conception of the Self as determined by the forms of embodied existence nowise excludes the identity of the embodied Self with the absolute Brahma."

-L. D. Barnett, Brahma-Knowledge: An Outline of the Philosophy of the Vedanta as set forth by the Upanishads and by Sankara
