CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.11.2

स यस् तेजो ब्रह्मेत्य् उपास्ते ।
तेजस्वी वै स तेजस्वतो लोकान् भास्वतो ऽपहततमस्कान् अभिसिध्यति ।
यावत् तेजसो गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यस् तेजो ब्रह्मेत्य् उपास्ते ।
अस्ति भगवस् तेजसो भूय इति ।
तेजसो वाव भूयो ऽस्तीति ।
तन् मे भगवान् ब्रवीत्व् इति ॥

sa yas tejo brahmety upāste ।
tejasvī vai sa tejasvato lokān bhāsvato ’pahatatamaskān abhisidhyati ।
yāvat tejaso gataṃ tatrāsya yathākāmacāro bhavati yas tejo brahmety upāste ।
asti bhagavas tejaso bhūya iti ।
tejaso vāva bhūyo ’stīti ।
tan me bhagavān bravītv iti ॥

'He who meditates on fire as Brahman, obtains, resplendent himself, resplendent worlds, full of light and free of darkness; he is, as it were, lord and master as far as fire reaches--he who meditates on fire as Brahman.' 'Sir, is there something better than fire?' 'Yes, there is something better than fire.' 'Sir, tell it me.'

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
