the face of the real

'With a golden vessel is the face of the real covered. . . . He who is the yonder person in the sun, I myself am he. Verily, that which is the sunhood of the sun is the eternal real. That is the bright, the personal, the sexless. Of the bright power that pervades the sky, it is only, a portion, which is, as it were, in the midst of the sun, the eye and in fire. That is Brahman, that is the immortal, that is splendour.'

'the Maitri Upanisad, from The Principal Upanisads, translated from the Sanskrit by S. Radhakrishnan, 1953.
