CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.1.3

सो ऽहं भगवो मन्त्रविद् एवास्मि नात्मवित् ।
श्रुतं ह्य् एव मे भगवद्दृशेभ्यस् तरति शोकम् आत्मविद् इति ।
सो ऽहं भगवः शोचामि ।
तं मा भगवाञ् छोकस्य पारं तारयत्व् इति ।
तं होवाच यद् वै किंचैतद् अध्यगीष्ठा नामैवैतत् ॥

so ’haṃ bhagavo mantravid evāsmi nātmavit ।
śrutaṃ hy eva me bhagavaddṛśebhyas tarati śokam ātmavid iti ।
so ’haṃ bhagavaḥ śocāmi ।
taṃ mā bhagavāñ chokasya pāraṃ tārayatv iti ।
taṃ hovāca yad vai kiṃcaitad adhyagīṣṭhā nāmaivaitat ॥

'But, Sir, with all this I know the Mantras only, the sacred books, I do not know the Self. I have heard from men like you, that he who knows the Self overcomes grief. I am in grief. Do, Sir, help me over this grief of mine.' Sanatkumâra, said to him: 'Whatever you have read, is only a name.
