CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 8.8.1

उदशराव आत्मानम् अवेक्ष्य यद् आत्मनो न विजानीथस् तन् मे प्रब्रूतम् इति ।
तौ होदशरावे ऽवेक्षां चक्राते ।
तौ ह प्रजापतिर् उवाच किं पश्यथ इति ।
तौ होचतुः सर्वम् एवेदम् आवां भगव आत्मानं पश्याव आ लोमभ्यः आ नखेभ्यः प्रतिरूपम् इति ॥

udaśarāva ātmānam avekṣya yad ātmano na vijānīthas tan me prabrūtam iti ।
tau hodaśarāve ’vekṣāṃ cakrāte ।
tau ha prajāpatir uvāca kiṃ paśyatha iti ।
tau hocatuḥ sarvam evedam āvāṃ bhagava ātmānaṃ paśyāva ā lomabhyaḥ ā nakhebhyaḥ pratirūpam iti ॥

'Look at your Self in a pan of water, and whatever you do not understand of your Self, come and tell me.' They looked in the water-pan. Then Pragâpati said to them: 'What do you see?' They said: 'We both see the self thus altogether, a picture even to the very hairs and nails.'
