Where neither water nor earth
Nor fire nor air gain a foothold,
There gleam no stars, no sun sheds light,
There shines no moon, yet there no darkness reigns.
When a sage, a brahman, has come to know this
For himself through his own wisdom,
Then he is freed from form and formless.
Freed from pleasure and from pain.
Ud 1.10 (see similar at Ud 8.1)
It's hard to see the unaffected,
for the truth isn't easily seen.
Craving is pierced in one who knows;
For one who sees, there is nothing.
Ud 8.2
Unborn, Unmade, Unbecome, Unconcocted
(or more literally:
without birth, without beings, without made things, without fabrications)
Ud 8.3
