CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.8.2

स यो बलम् उपास्ते ।
यावद् बलस्य गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यो बलं ब्रह्मेत्य् उपास्ते ।
अस्ति भगवो बलाद् भूय इति ।
बलाद् वाव भूयो ऽस्तीति ।
तन् मे भगवान् ब्रवीत्व् इति ॥

sa yo balam upāste ।
yāvad balasya gataṃ tatrāsya yathākāmacāro bhavati yo balaṃ brahmety upāste ।
asti bhagavo balād bhūya iti ।
balād vāva bhūyo ’stīti ।
tan me bhagavān bravītv iti ॥

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

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