Chāndogya 8.5.1
अथ यद्यज्ञ इत्याचक्षते ब्रह्मचर्यमेव तद्ब्रह्मचर्येण ह्येव यो ज्ञाता तं विन्दतेऽथ यदिष्टमित्याचक्षते ब्रह्मचर्यमेव तद्ब्रह्मचर्येण ह्येवेष्ट्वात्मानमनुविन्दते ॥ ८.५.१ ॥
Now what they call 'sacrifice' is indeed brahmacarya, for by brahmacarya one finds him who is to be known. And what they call 'offering' is indeed brahmacarya, for by brahmacarya, having sacrificed, one finds the ātman.
Chāndogya 8.5.2
अथ यत्सत्त्रायणमित्याचक्षते ब्रह्मचर्यमेव तद्ब्रह्मचर्येण ह्येव सत आत्मनस्त्राणं विन्दतेऽथ यन्मौनमित्याचक्षते ब्रह्मचर्यमेव तब्ब्रह्मचर्येण ह्येवात्मानमनुविद्य मनुते ॥ ८.५.२ ॥
Now what they call 'the protecting sacrifice' (sattrāyaṇa) is indeed brahmacarya, for by brahmacarya one finds the protection of the real self. And what they call 'silence' is indeed brahmacarya, for by brahmacarya, having known the ātman, one reflects.
Chāndogya 8.5.3
अथ यदनाशकायनमित्याचक्षते ब्रह्मचर्यमेव तदेष ह्यात्मा न नश्यति यं ब्रह्मचर्येणानुविन्दतेऽथ मित्याचक्षते ब्रह्मचर्यमेव तदरश्च ह वै ण्यश्चार्णवौ ब्रह्मलोके तृतीयस्यामितो दिवि तदैरं मदीयꣳ सरस्तदश्वत्थः सोमसवनस् प्रभुविमितꣳ हिरण्मयम् ॥ ८.५.३ ॥
Now what they call 'non-destruction' (anāśakāyana) is indeed brahmacarya, for this self does not perish, the one whom one finds by brahmacarya. And what they call 'ma' is indeed brahmacarya. In the world of Brahman, in the third heaven from here, there are two oceans, Ara and Ṇya; there is my lake Aira, the soma-pressing fig tree, golden and measured by the lord.
Chāndogya 8.5.4
तद्य एवैतावरं च ण्यं चार्णवौ ब्रह्मलोके ब्रह्मचर्येणानुविन्दन्ति तेषामेवैष ब्रह्मलोकस्तेषाꣳ सर्वेषु लोकेषु कामचारो भवति ॥ ८.५.४ ॥
Those who attain these two in the world of Brahman through celibate study — for them is this world of Brahman, and for them there is free movement at will in all worlds.
