CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.7.2

स यो विज्ञानं ब्रह्मेत्य् उपास्ते ।
विज्ञानवतो वै स लोकाञ् ज्ञानवतो ऽभिसिध्यति ।
यावद् विज्ञानस्य गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यो विज्ञानं ब्रह्मेत्य् उपास्ते ।
अस्ति भगवो विज्ञानाद् भूय इति ।
विज्ञानाद् वाव भूयो ऽस्तीति ।
तन् मे भगवान् ब्रवीत्व् इति ॥

sa yo vijñānaṃ brahmety upāste ।
vijñānavato vai sa lokāñ jñānavato ’bhisidhyati ।
yāvad vijñānasya gataṃ tatrāsya yathākāmacāro bhavati yo vijñānaṃ brahmety upāste ।
asti bhagavo vijñānād bhūya iti ।
vijñānād vāva bhūyo ’stīti ।
tan me bhagavān bravītv iti ॥

'He who meditates on understanding as Brahman, reaches the worlds where there is understanding and knowledge; he is, as it were, lord and master as far as understanding reaches--he who meditates on understanding as Brahman.' 'Sir, is there something better than understanding?' 'Yes, there is something better than understanding.' 'Sir, tell it me.'

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