Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.48

अयं वायुः सर्वेषां भूतानां मधु | अस्य वायोः सर्वाणि भूतानि मधु | यश्चायमस्मिन्वायौ तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः यश्चायमध्यात्मं प्राणस्तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः | अयमेव स यो अयमात्मा | इदममृतमिदं ब्रह्मेदं सर्वम् ॥

ayam vayuh sarvesham bhutanam madhu | asya vayoh sarvani bhutani madhu | yash chayam asmin vayau tejomayo'mritamayah purushah yash chayam adhyatmam pranas tejomayo'mritamayah purushah | ayam eva sa yo ayam atma | idam amritam idam brahmedam sarvam ||

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

यह वायु सर्वभूतों की मधु है और सर्वभूत इस वायु के मधु हैं। जो इस वायु में तेजोमय, अमृतमय पुरुष है और जो प्राण में तेजोमय, अमृतमय पुरुष है — वे दोनों वही आत्मा हैं, यह अमृत है, यह ब्रह्म है, यह सब-कुछ है।
