Chāndogya 8.7.1
य आत्मापहतपाप्मा विजरो विमृत्युर्विशोको विजिघत्सोऽपिपासः सत्यकामः सत्यसङ्कल्पः सोऽन्वेष्टव्यः स विजिज्ञासितव्यः स सर्वाꣳश्च लोकानाप्नोति सर्वाꣳश्च कामान्यस्तमात्मानमनुविद्य विजानातीति ह प्रजापतिरुवाच ॥ ८.७.१ ॥
The self that is free from evil, ageless, deathless, sorrowless, free from hunger and thirst, whose desire is true and whose resolve is true — that one must be sought, that one must be desired to be known. He who has searched out that self and fully knows it attains all worlds and all desires. Thus said Prajāpati.
Chāndogya 8.7.2
तद्धोभये देवासुरा अनुबुबुधिरे ते होचुर्हन्त तमात्मानमन्वेच्छामो यमात्मानमन्विष्य सर्वाꣳश्च लोकानाप्नोति सर्वाꣳश्च कामानितीन्द्रो हैव देवानामभिप्रवव्राज विरोचनोऽसुराणां तौ हासंविदानावेव समित्पाणी प्रजापतिसकाशमाजग्मतुः ॥ ८.७.२ ॥
Then the gods and the demons both came to know of it. They said, 'Come, let us seek that ātman, having found which one attains all worlds and all desires.' Indra went to the gods and Virocana to the demons. Those two, not having agreed, came to the presence of Prajāpati with firewood in their hands.
Chāndogya 8.7.3
तौ ह द्वात्रिꣳशतं वर्षाणि ब्रह्मचर्यमूषतुस्तौ ह प्रजापतिरुवाच किमिच्छन्तावास्तमिति । तौ होचतुर्य आत्मापहतपाप्मा विजरो विमृत्युर्विशोको विजिघत्सोऽपिपासः सत्यकामः सत्यसङ्कल्पः सोऽन्वेष्टव्यः स विजिज्ञासितव्यः स सर्वाꣳश्च लोकानाप्नोति सर्वाꣳश्च कामान्यस्तमात्मानमनुविद्य विजानातीति भगवतो वचो वेदयन्ते तमिच्छन्ताववास्तमिति ॥ ८.७.३ ॥
Those two lived in brahmacarya for thirty-two years. Then Prajāpati said to them, 'What do you wish, living thus?' They replied, 'That ātman which is free from evil, free from old age, free from death, free from sorrow, free from hunger and thirst, whose desires are true and whose resolves are true, that one should be sought and truly known. Whoever, having found that ātman and learned it, knows it, attains all worlds and all desires.' They declare the venerable one's word; desiring that very thing they lived.
Chāndogya 8.7.4
तौ ह प्रजापतिरुवाच य एषोऽक्षिणि पुरुषो दृश्यत एष आत्मेति होवाचैतदमृतमभयमेतद्ब्रह्मेत्यथ योऽयं भगवोऽप्सु परिख्यायते यश्चायमादर्शे कतम एष इत्येष उ एवैषु सर्वेष्वन्तेषु परिख्यायत इति होवाच ॥ ८.७.४ ॥
Then Prajāpati said to them, 'This person who is seen in the eye, this is the ātman.' They said, 'This is the immortal, the fearless; this is brahman.' Then, venerable one, what is that which is seen reflected in water, and what is seen in the mirror — which is it? It is this same one that is reflected in all those places.
