Veda

This Vidya occurs in the Brihadaranyakopanishad, (5.5.2).

This Sun is the same as that Real. The person who is there in that orb and the Person who is here in the right eye, these two abide in each other. Through his rays that one abides in this one; through his vital airs this one in that. When one is about to quit the body, he sees that pure orb. The rays do not come to him again.

This is the counterpart of the Akshi Vidya, the cosmic representation of the same, through the combination of which two the meditation becomes complete or integral; and there is effected the conscious revelation of the Real through the merging together of the subjective and the objective manifestations of the Purusha
