BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 4.5.14

सा होवाच मैत्रेयी --
अत्रैव मा भगवान् मोहान्तम् आपीपदत् ।
न वा अहम् इमं विजानामीति ।
स होवाच -- न वा अरे ऽहं मोहं ब्रवीमि ।
अविनाशी वा अरे ऽयम् आत्मानुच्छित्तिधर्मा ॥

sā hovāca maitreyī --
atraiva mā bhagavān mohāntam āpīpadat ।
na vā aham imaṃ vijānāmīti ।
sa hovāca -- na vā are ’haṃ mohaṃ bravīmi ।
avināśī vā are ’yam ātmānucchittidharmā ॥

Then Maitreyî said: 'Here, Sir, thou hast landed me in utter bewilderment. Indeed, I do not understand him.' But he replied: 'O Maitreyî, I say nothing that is bewildering. Verily, beloved, that Self is imperishable, and of an indestructible nature.
