CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.23.1

यो वै भूमा तत् सुखम् ।
नाल्पे सुखम् अस्ति ।
भूमैव सुखम् ।
भूमा त्व् एव विजिज्ञासितव्य इति ।
भूमानं भगवो विजिज्ञास इति ॥

yo vai bhūmā tat sukham ।
nālpe sukham asti ।
bhūmaiva sukham ।
bhūmā tv eva vijijñāsitavya iti ।
bhūmānaṃ bhagavo vijijñāsa iti ॥

'The Infinite (bhûman) is bliss. There is no bliss in anything finite. Infinity only is bliss. This Infinity, however, we must desire to understand.' 'Sir, I desire to understand it.'

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