Chāndogya 6.8.1
उद्दालको हारुणिः श्वेतकेतुं पुत्रमुवाच स्वप्नान्तं मे सोम्य विजानीहीति यत्रैतत्पुरुषः स्वपिति नाम सता सोम्य तदा सम्पन्नो भवति स्वमपीतो भवति तस्मादेनँ स्वपितीत्याचक्षते स्वँह्यपीतो भवति ॥ ६.८.१ ॥
Uddālaka Āruṇi said to his son Śvetaketu: Gentle son, learn from me the end of the dream state. When this person sleeps, gentle son, then he becomes united with being, he is gone into his own self. Therefore they say 'he sleeps', for he has gone into his own self.
Chāndogya 6.8.2
स यथा शकुनिः सूत्रेण प्रबद्धो दिशं दिशं पतित्वान्यत्रायतनमलब्ध्वा बन्धनमेवोपश्रयत एवमेव खलु सोम्य तन्मनो दिशं दिशं पतित्वान्यत्रायतनमलब्ध्वा प्राणमेवोपश्रयते प्राणबन्धनँ हि सोम्य मन इति ॥ ६.८.२ ॥
As a bird tied by a thread flies in one direction and then another, finding no other resting place, returns only to its bond, so indeed, gentle son, that mind flies in one direction and another, finds no other resting place, and takes refuge only in breath; for the mind, gentle son, is bound to breath.
Chāndogya 6.8.3
अशनापिपासे मे सोम्य विजानीहीति यत्रैतत्पुरुषोऽशिशिषति नामाप एव तदशितं नयन्ते तद्यथा गोनायोऽश्वनायः पुरुषनाय इत्येवं तदप आचक्षतेऽशनायेति तत्रितच्छुङ्गमुत्पतितँ सोम्य विजानीहि नेदममूलं भविष्यतीति ॥ ६.८.३ ॥
Dear one, know hunger and thirst. When a person desires to eat, it is only the waters that carry away what has been eaten. Just as they speak of 'cow-leader,' 'horse-leader,' or 'man-leader,' so they call the waters 'hunger-leader.' Here a sprout has risen up; dear one, know that it will not be without a root.
Chāndogya 6.8.4
तस्य क्व मूलँ स्यादन्यत्रान्नादेवमेव खलु सोम्यान्नेन शुङ्गेनापो मूलमन्विच्छाद्भिः सोम्य शुङ्गेन तेजोमूलमन्विच्छ तेजसा सोम्य शुङ्गेन सन्मूलमन्विच्छ सन्मूलाः सोम्येमाः सर्वाः प्रजाः सदायतनाः सत्प्रतिष्ठाः ॥ ६.८.४ ॥
Where would its root be, other than in food? So too, dear one, seek the root of the waters through food as the sprout; seek the root of fire through the waters as the sprout, dear one; seek the root of Being through fire as the sprout, dear one. Dear one, all these creatures have Being as their root, Being as their abode, Being as their foundation.
Chāndogya 6.8.5
अथ यत्रैतत्पुरुषः पिपासति नाम तेज एव तत्पीतं नयते तद्यथा गोनायोऽश्वनायः पुरुषनाय इत्येवं तत्तेज आचष्ट उदन्येति तत्रैतदेव शुङ्गमुत्पतितँ सोम्य विजानीहि नेदममूलं भविष्यतीति ॥ ६.८.५ ॥
Then, when a person is thirsty, it is only fire that carries away what has been drunk. Just as they speak of 'cow-leader,' 'horse-leader,' or 'man-leader,' so they call that fire 'thirst-leader' (udanyā). Here a sprout has risen up; dear one, know that it will not be without a root.
Chāndogya 6.8.6
तस्य क्व मूलँ स्यादन्यत्राद्भ्य्ऽद्भिः सोम्य शुङ्गेन तेजो मूलमन्विच्छ तेजसा सोम्य शुङ्गेन सन्मूलमन्विच्छ सन्मूलाः सोम्येमाः सर्वाः प्रजाः सदायतनाः सत्प्रतिष्ठा यथा नु खलु सोम्येमास्तिस्रो देवताः पुरुषं प्राप्य त्रिवृत्त्रिवृदेकैका भवति तदुक्तं पुरस्तादेव भवत्यस्य सोम्य पुरुषस्य प्रयतो वाङ्मनसि सम्पद्यते मनः प्राणे प्राणस्तेजसि तेजः परस्यां देवतायाम् ॥ ६.८.६ ॥
Where would its root be, other than in water? Seek the root of fire through the waters as the sprout, dear one; seek the root of Being through fire as the sprout, dear one. Dear one, all these creatures have Being as their root, Being as their abode, Being as their foundation. Just as, dear one, these three deities, reaching a person, each become threefold, as was said before, so when this person departs at death, speech is absorbed into mind, mind into breath, breath into fire, and fire into the highest deity.
Chāndogya 6.8.7
स य एषोऽणिमैतदात्म्यमिदँ सर्वं तत्सत्यँ स आत्मा तत्त्वमसि श्वेतकेतो इति भूय एव मा भगवान्विज्ञापयत्विति तथा सोम्येति होवाच ॥ ६.८.७ ॥
That which is the subtle essence, of which all this has its self — that is the real, that is the ātman, and you are that, Śvetaketu. Let the revered one explain it to me again, he said. So be it, gentle one, he replied.
