Chāndogya 8.12.1
मघवन्मर्त्यं वा इदꣳ शरीरमात्तं मृत्युना तदस्यामृतस्याशरीरस्यात्मनोऽधिष्ठानमात्तो वै सशरीरः प्रियाप्रियाभ्यां न वै सशरीरस्य सतः प्रियाप्रिययोरपहतिरस्त्यशरीरं वाव सन्तं न प्रियाप्रिये स्पृशतः ॥ ८.१२.१ ॥
O Maghavan, this mortal body is seized by death. It is the abode of the immortal, bodiless ātman. The one who has a body is seized by pleasure and pain; for one who is embodied there is no removal of pleasure and pain. But when one is bodiless, pleasure and pain do not touch him.
Chāndogya 8.12.2
अशरीरो वायुरभ्रं विद्युत्स्तनयित्नुरशरीराण्येतानि तद्यथैतान्यमुष्मादाकाशात्समुत्थाय परं ज्योतिरुपसंपद्य स्वेन रूपेणाभिनिष्पद्यन्ते ॥ ८.१२.२ ॥
Wind, cloud, lightning, and thunder are bodiless. As these, arising from that space, reaching the highest light, come forth in their own form,
Chāndogya 8.12.3
एवमेवैष संप्रसादोऽस्माच्छरीरात्समुत्थाय परं ज्योतिरुपसंपद्य स्वेन रूपेणाभिनिष्पद्यते स उत्तमपुरुषः स तत्र पर्येति जक्षत्क्रीडन्रममाणः स्त्रीभिर्वा यानैर्वा ज्ञातिभिर्वा नोपजनꣳ स्मरन्निदꣳ शरीरꣳ स यथा प्रयोग्य आचरणे युक्त एवमेवायमस्मिञ्छरीरे प्राणो युक्तः ॥ ८.१२.३ ॥
In just this way, this serene self rises up from this body, attains the supreme light, and appears in its own form. That is the highest person. There he moves about, eating, playing, and delighting, with women, with vehicles, or with relatives, no longer remembering this body he had. Just as an animal yoked for work is harnessed at its place of labor, so this prāṇa is yoked in this body.
Chāndogya 8.12.4
अथ यत्रैतदाकाशमनुविषण्णं चक्षुः स चाक्षुषः पुरुषो दर्शनाय चक्षुरथ यो वेदेदं जिघ्राणीति स आत्मा गन्धाय घ्राणमथ यो वेदेदमभिव्याहराणीति स आत्माभिव्याहाराय वागथ यो वेदेदꣳ शृणवानीति स आत्मा श्रवणाय श्रोत्रम् ॥ ८.१२.४ ॥
Now, where this eye rests fixed upon the sky, the person belonging to that eye is the eye for seeing. Then, the self who knows, 'I smell this,' is the nose for smelling. Then, the self who knows, 'I speak this,' is speech for speaking. Then, the self who knows, 'I hear this,' is the ear for hearing.
Chāndogya 8.12.5
अथ यो वेदेदं मन्वानीति सात्मा मनोऽस्य दैवं चक्षुः स वा एष एतेन दैवेन चक्षुषा मनसैतान्कामान्पश्यन्रमते य एते ब्रह्मलोके ॥ ८.१२.५ ॥
Then, the self who knows, 'I think this,' is the mind. Its divine eye is the mind itself. By this divine eye and mind, seeing these desires, he delights in them, those which are in the world of Brahman.
Chāndogya 8.12.6
तं वा एतं देवा आत्मानमुपासते तस्मात्तेषाꣳ सर्वे च लोका आत्ताः सर्वे च कामाः स सर्वाꣳश्च लोकानाप्नोति सर्वाꣳश्च कामान्यस्तमात्मानमनुविद्य विजानातीति ह प्रजापतिरुवाच प्रजापतिरुवाच ॥ ८.१२.६ ॥
The gods worship this very self, and therefore all worlds and all desires are theirs. He who, having realized that self, fully knows it, attains all worlds and all desires. So said Prajāpati, so said Prajāpati.
