Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.58

अयमात्मा सर्वेषां भूतानां मधु | अस्यात्मनः सर्वाणि भूतानि मधु | यश्चायमस्मिन्नात्मनि तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः यश्चायमात्मा तेजोमयोऽमृतमयः पुरुषः | अयमेव स यो अयमात्मा | इदममृतमिदं ब्रह्मेदं सर्वम् ॥

ayam atma sarvesham bhutanam madhu | asyatmanah sarvani bhutani madhu | yash chayam asminn atmani tejomayo'mritamayah purushah yash chayam atma tejomayo'mritamayah purushah | ayam eva sa yo ayam atma | idam amritam idam brahmedam sarvam ||

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

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