BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 1.3.18
ते देवा अब्रुवन् ।
एतावद् वा इदं सर्वं यद् अन्नम् ।
तद् आत्मन आगासीः ।
अनु नो ऽस्मिन्न् अन्न आभजस्वेति ।
ते वै माभिसंविशतेति ।
तथेति तं समन्तं परिण्यविशन्त ।
तस्माद् यद् अनेनान्नम् अत्ति तेनैतास् तृप्यन्ति ।
एवं ह वा एनं स्वा अभिसंविशन्ति भर्ता स्वानां श्रेष्ठः पुरएता भवत्य् अन्नादो ऽधिपतिर् य एवं वेद ।
य उ हैवंविदं स्वेषु प्रतिर् बुभूषति न हैवालं भार्येभ्यो भवति ।
अथ य एवैतम् अनुभवति यो वैतम् अनु भार्यान् बुभूर्षति स हैवालं भार्येभ्यो भवति ॥
te devā abruvan ।
etāvad vā idaṃ sarvaṃ yad annam ।
tad ātmana āgāsīḥ ।
anu no ’sminn anna ābhajasveti ।
te vai mābhisaṃviśateti ।
tatheti taṃ samantaṃ pariṇyaviśanta ।
tasmād yad anenānnam atti tenaitās tṛpyanti ।
evaṃ ha vā enaṃ svā abhisaṃviśanti bhartā svānāṃ śreṣṭhaḥ puraetā bhavaty annādo ’dhipatir ya evaṃ veda ।
ya u haivaṃvidaṃ sveṣu pratir bubhūṣati na haivālaṃ bhāryebhyo bhavati ।
atha ya evaitam anubhavati yo vaitam anu bhāryān bubhūrṣati sa haivālaṃ bhāryebhyo bhavati ॥
The Devas said: 'Verily, thus far, whatever food there is, thou hast by singing acquired it for thyself. Now therefore give us a share in that food.' He said: 'You there, enter into me.' They said Yes, and entered all into him. Therefore whatever food is eaten by breath, by it the other senses are satisfied. If a man knows this, then his own relations come to him in the same manner; he becomes their supporter, their chief leader, their strong ruler. And if ever anyone tries to oppose one who is possessed of such knowledge among his own relatives, then he will not be able to support his own belongings. But he who follows the man who is possessed of such knowledge, and who with his permission wishes to support those whom he has to support, he indeed will be able to support his own belongings.
