CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 8.1.3

यावान् वा अयम् आकाशस् तावान् एषो ऽन्तर्हृदय आकाशः ।
उभे ऽस्मिन् द्यावापृथिवी अन्तर् एव समाहिते ।
उभाव् अग्निश् च वायुश् च सूर्याचन्द्रमसाव् उभौ विद्युन् नक्षत्राणि ।
यच् चास्येहास्ति यच् च नास्ति सर्वं तद् अस्मिन् समाहितम् इति ॥

yāvān vā ayam ākāśas tāvān eṣo ’ntarhṛdaya ākāśaḥ ।
ubhe ’smin dyāvāpṛthivī antar eva samāhite ।
ubhāv agniś ca vāyuś ca sūryācandramasāv ubhau vidyun nakṣatrāṇi ।
yac cāsyehāsti yac ca nāsti sarvaṃ tad asmin samāhitam iti ॥

Then he should say: 'As large as this ether (all space) is, so large is that ether within the heart. Both heaven and earth are contained within it, both fire and air, both sun and moon, both lightning and stars; and whatever there is of him (the Self) here in the world, and whatever is not (i. e. whatever has been or will be), all that is contained within it.'

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