Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.51

अयं चन्द्रमाः सर्वेषां भूतानां मधु | अस्य चन्द्रमसः सर्वाणि भूतानि मधु | यश्चायमस्मिंश्चन्द्रमसि तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः यश्चायमध्यात्मं मानसस्तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः | अयमेव स यो अयमात्मा | इदममृतमिदं ब्रह्मेदं सर्वम् ॥

ayam chandramah sarvesham bhutanam madhu | asya chandramasah sarvani bhutani madhu | yash chayam asmimsh chandramasi tejomayo'mritamayah purushah yash chayam adhyatmam manasas tejomayo'mritamayah purushah | ayam eva sa yo ayam atma | idam amritam idam brahmedam sarvam ||

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

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