BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 2.5.8

इयं विद्युत् सर्वेषां भूतानं मधु ।
अस्यै विद्युतः सर्वाणि भूतानि मधु ।
यश् चायम् अस्यां विद्युति तेजोमयो ऽमृतमयः पुरुषो यश् चायम् अध्यात्मं तैजसस् तेजोमयो ऽमृतमयः पुरुषो ऽयम् एव स यो ऽयम् आत्मा ।
इदम् अमृतम् इदं ब्रह्मेदं सर्वम् ॥

iyaṃ vidyut sarveṣāṃ bhūtānaṃ madhu ।
asyai vidyutaḥ sarvāṇi bhūtāni madhu ।
yaś cāyam asyāṃ vidyuti tejomayo ’mṛtamayaḥ puruṣo yaś cāyam adhyātmaṃ taijasas tejomayo ’mṛtamayaḥ puruṣo ’yam eva sa yo ’yam ātmā ।
idam amṛtam idaṃ brahmedaṃ sarvam ॥

This lightning is the honey of all beings, and all beings are the honey of this lightning. Likewise this bright, immortal person in this lightning, and that bright, immortal person existing as light in the body (both are madhu). He indeed is the same as that Self, that Immortal, that Brahman, that All.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 15 (1884)
