Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.46

इमा आपः सर्वेषां भूतानां मधु | आसामपां सर्वाणि भूतानि मधु | यश्चायमासामप्सु तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः यश्चायमध्यात्मं रैतसस्तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः | अयमेव स यो अयमात्मा | इदममृतमिदं ब्रह्मेदं सर्वम् ॥

ima apah sarvesham bhutanam madhu | asam apam sarvani bhutani madhu | yash chayam asam apsu tejomayo'mritamayah purushah yash chayam adhyatmam raitasas tejomayo'mritamayah purushah | ayam eva sa yo ayam atma | idam amritam idam brahmedam sarvam ||

These waters are the honey of all beings, and all beings are the honey of these waters. The luminous, immortal being who is in these waters, and the luminous, immortal being identified with the seed in the body — he is but this Self. This is the immortal, this is Brahman, this is all.

ये जल सर्वभूतों के मधु हैं और सर्वभूत इन जलों के मधु हैं। जो इन जलों में तेजोमय, अमृतमय पुरुष है और जो वीर्य में तेजोमय, अमृतमय पुरुष है — वे दोनों वही आत्मा हैं, यह अमृत है, यह ब्रह्म है, यह सब-कुछ है।
