BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 4.3.37

तद् यथा राजानम् आयन्तम् उग्राः प्रत्येनसः सूतग्रामण्यो ऽन्नैः पानैर् अवसथैः प्रतिकल्पन्ते ऽयम् आयात्य् अयम् आगच्छतीति ।
एवं हैवंविदं सर्वाणि भूतानि प्रतिकल्पन्त इदं ब्रह्मायातीदम् आगच्छतीति ॥

tad yathā rājānam āyantam ugrāḥ pratyenasaḥ sūtagrāmaṇyo ’nnaiḥ pānair avasathaiḥ pratikalpante ’yam āyāty ayam āgacchatīti ।
evaṃ haivaṃvidaṃ sarvāṇi bhūtāni pratikalpanta idaṃ brahmāyātīdam āgacchatīti ॥

'And as policemen, magistrates, equerries, and governors wait for a king who is coming back, with food and drink, saying, "He comes back, he approaches," thus do all the elements wait on him who knows this, saying, "That Brahman comes, that Brahman approaches."

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