CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 8.4.2

तस्माद् वा एतं सेतुं तीर्त्वा अन्धः सन्न् अनन्धो भवति ।
विद्धः सन्न् अविद्धो भवति ।
उपतापी सन्न् अनुपतापी भवति ।
तस्माद् वा एतं सेतुं तीर्त्वा अपि नक्तम् अहर् एवाभिनिष्पद्यते ।
सकृद् विभातो ह्य् एवैष ब्रह्मलोकः ॥

tasmād vā etaṃ setuṃ tīrtvā andhaḥ sann anandho bhavati ।
viddhaḥ sann aviddho bhavati ।
upatāpī sann anupatāpī bhavati ।
tasmād vā etaṃ setuṃ tīrtvā api naktam ahar evābhiniṣpadyate ।
sakṛd vibhāto hy evaiṣa brahmalokaḥ ॥

Therefore he who has crossed that bank, if blind, ceases to be blind; if wounded, ceases to be wounded; if afflicted, ceases to be afflicted. Therefore when that bank has been crossed, night becomes day indeed, for the world of Brahman is lighted up once for all.
