ChU 7.23.1

यो वै भूमा तत् सुखम् । नाल्पे सुखम् अस्ति । भूमैव सुखम् । भूमा त्व् एव विजिज्ञासितव्य इति । भूमानं भगवो विजिज्ञास इति

yo vai bhūmā tat sukham | nālpe sukham asti | bhūmaiva sukham | bhūmā tv eva vijijñāsitavya iti | bhūmānaṃ bhagavo vijijñāsa iti

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

'The Infinite (bhûman) is bliss. There is no bliss in anything finite. Infinity only is bliss. This Infinity, however, we must desire to understand.' 'Sir, I desire to understand it.'
