Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.14

सर्वं खल्व् इदं ब्रह्म तज्जलान् इति शान्त उपासीत । अथ खलु क्रतुमयः पुरुषो यथाक्रतुर् अस्मिंल् लोके पुरुषो भवति तथेतः प्रेत्य भवति । स क्रतुं कुर्वीत

sarvaṃ khalv idaṃ brahma tajjalān iti śānta upāsīta | atha khalu kratumayaḥ puruṣo yathākratur asmiṃl loke puruṣo bhavati tathetaḥ pretya bhavati | sa kratuṃ kurvīta

All this is Brahman (n.) Let a man meditate on that (visible world) as beginning, ending, and breathing in it (the Brahman). Now man is a creature of will. According to what his will is in this world, so will he be when he has departed this life. Let him therefore have this will and belief:

Translated by F. Max Müller

मनोमयः प्राणशरीरो भारूपः सत्यसंकल्प आकाशात्मा सर्वकर्मा सर्वकामः सर्वगन्धः सर्वरसः सर्वम् इदम् अभ्यत्तो ऽवाक्य् अनादरः

manomayaḥ prāṇaśarīro bhārūpaḥ satyasaṃkalpa ākāśātmā sarvakarmā sarvakāmaḥ sarvagandhaḥ sarvarasaḥ sarvam idam abhyatto 'vāky anādaraḥ

The intelligent, whose body is spirit, whose form is light, whose thoughts are true, whose nature is like ether (omnipresent and invisible), from whom all works, all desires, all sweet odours and tastes proceed; he who embraces all this, who never speaks, and is never surprised,

Translated by F. Max Müller

एष म आत्मा अन्तर्हृदये ऽणीयान् व्रीहेर् वा यवाद् वा सर्षपाद् वा श्यामाकाद् वा श्यामाकतण्डुलाद् वा । एष म आत्मा अन्तर्हृदये ज्यायान् पृथिव्या ज्यायान् अन्तरिक्षाज् ज्यायान् दिवो ज्यायान् एभ्यो लोकेभ्यः

eṣa ma ātmā antarhṛdaye 'ṇīyān vrīher vā yavād vā sarṣapād vā śyāmākād vā śyāmākataṇḍulād vā | eṣa ma ātmā antarhṛdaye jyāyān pṛthivyā jyāyān antarikṣāj jyāyān divo jyāyān ebhyo lokebhyaḥ

He is my self within the heart, smaller than a corn of rice, smaller than a corn of barley, smaller than a mustard seed, smaller than a canary seed or the kernel of a canary seed. He also is my self within the heart, greater than the earth, greater than the sky, greater than heaven, greater than all these worlds.

Translated by F. Max Müller

सर्वकर्मा सर्वकामः सर्वगन्धः सर्वरसः सर्वम् इदम् अभ्यत्तो ऽवाक्यनादरः । एष म आत्मा अन्तर्हृदये । एतद् ब्रह्म । एतम् इतः प्रेत्याभिसंभविता अस्मीति यस्य स्याद् अद्धा न विचिकित्सा अस्ति । इति ह स्माह शाण्डिल्यः शाण्डिल्यः

sarvakarmā sarvakāmaḥ sarvagandhaḥ sarvarasaḥ sarvam idam abhyatto 'vākyanādaraḥ | eṣa ma ātmā antarhṛdaye | etad brahma | etam itaḥ pretyābhisaṃbhavitā asmīti yasya syād addhā na vicikitsā asti | iti ha smāha śāṇḍilyaḥ śāṇḍilyaḥ

He from whom all works, all desires, all sweet odours and tastes proceed, who embraces all this, who never speaks and who is never surprised, he, my self within the heart, is that Brahman (n.) When I shall have departed from hence, I shall obtain him (that Self). He who has this faith has no doubt; thus said Sândilya, yea, thus he said.
