CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa3	7 (Those knowers of Brahman who have purified their mind through the withdrawal of the senses and other means like Brahmacharya) see everywhere (the day like the supreme light) of the ancient One who is the seed of the universe, (the light that shines in the Effulgent Brahman). May we, too having perceived the highest light which dispels darkness, reach it. Having perceived the highest light in our own heart we have reached that highest light, which is the dispeller (of Water, rays of light and the Pranas), shining in all Devas yea, we have reached that highest light.
ChandogyaUpa8	3 But only those who attain according to the iostruction this Brahman world through Brahmacharya, to them belongs this Brahman world. For them there is freedom to act as they wish in all the worlds.
ChandogyaUpa8	1 Now, what people call sacrifice is really Brahmacharya, for only by means of Brahmacharya does the knower attain that world. And what people call worship Ista() is really Brahmacharya, for only by worshipping with Brahmacharya does one attain the Atman.
ChandogyaUpa8	2 Now, what people call the sacrificial session is really Brahmacharya, for only by means of Brahmacharya does one obuain one s salvation from Being. And what people call the vow of silence is really Brahmacharya for only through Brahmacharya does one understand the Atman and then meditate.
ChandogyaUpa8	3 Now, what people call a course of fasting is really Brahmacharya, for this Atman never perishes which one attains by means of Brahmacharya. And what people call the life of a hermit is really Brahmacharya, for verily Ara and Nya are the Two oceans in the Brahman world in the third Heaven from here and therein is the lake Airammadiya, and there is the Aparajita (unconquered) City of Brahma, and there is the Gold hall specially built by the Lord.
ChandogyaUpa8	4 Therefore only those who attain the Two oceans, Ara and Nya, in the Brahman world by means of Brahmacharya, only to them belongs this Brahman world and for them there is freedom to act as they wish in all the worlds.
