Humble Homage to the Aacharayaals..
न कर्मणा न प्रजया धनेन त्यागेनेके अम्रुतत्त्वमानशुः
परेण नाकं निहितं गुहायां विब्राजदेतद्यतयो विशन्ति
Na karmanaa na prajayaa dhanena tyageneke amrutattwamaanashuH
Parena naakam nihitam guhaayaam vibhraajatedatyatayo vishanti..

Not by work, not by progeny, not by wealth, they have attained Immortality. Some have attained Immortality by renunciation.
That which the hermits attain is laid beyond the heaven; yet it shines brilliantly in the (purified) heart.

श्री महानारायणोपनिषत् द्वादशोऽनुवाकः १५-१६-१७
śrī mahānārāyaṇopaniṣat dvādaśo'nuvākaḥ XII- 15-16-17
Having attained the Immortality consisting of identification with the Supreme, all those aspirants who strive for self-control, who have rigourously arrived at the conclusion taught by vedanta through direct knowledge, and who have attained purity of mind through the practice of the discipline of yoga and steadfastness in the knowledge of brahman preceded by renunciation, get themselves released into the regions of Brahman at the dissolution of the body.
In the citadel of the body there is the small sinless and pure lotus of the heart which is the residence of the Supreme. Further in the interior of this small area there is the sorrowless ether.. That is to be meditated upon continuously.
He is the supreme Lord who transcends the syllable Om which is uttered at the commencement of recital of the Vedas, which is well established in the Upanishads and which is dissolved in the primal cause (prakriti) during contemplation
The above anuvakas in Mahanarayanopanishat, which is a part of advanced yajurvedic learning along with raittareeyopanishat, in three stanzas describe the way of renunciated people, the location of the Supreme Self in the anahata lotus at the heart of the living being and identifies the Brahman who is to be worshiped.
These three stanzas along with Na karamana Na prajaya dhanena..... is chanted wherever the great Aacharys who have renunciated everything and walk on this earth as living gods are present.
