PRAŚNA UPANISHAD · 4.2

तस्मै स होवाच यथा गार्ग्य मरीचयोऽर्कस्यास्तं गच्छतः सर्वा
एतस्मिंस्तेजोमण्डल एकीभवन्ति ताः पुनः पुनरुदयतः प्रचरन्त्येवं
ह वै तत् सर्वं परे देवे मनस्येकीभवति तेन तर्ह्येष पुरुषो न
शृणोति न पश्यति न जिघ्रति न रसयते न स्पृशते नाभिवदते
नादत्ते नानन्दयते न विसृजते नेयायते स्वपितीत्याचक्षते ॥ ४.२॥

tasmai sa hovāca yathā gārgya marīcayo’rkasyāstaṃ gacchataḥ sarvā
etasmiṃstejomaṇḍala ekībhavanti tāḥ punaḥ punarudayataḥ pracarantyevaṃ
ha vai tat sarvaṃ pare deve manasyekībhavati tena tarhyeṣa puruṣo na
śṛṇoti na paśyati na jighrati na rasayate na spṛśate nābhivadate
nādatte nānandayate na visṛjate neyāyate svapitītyācakṣate ॥ 4.2॥

To him answered the Rishi Pippalada: “O Gargya, as are the rays of the sun in its setting, for they retire and all become one in yonder circle of splendour, but when he riseth again once more they walk abroad, so all the man becomes one in the highest god, even the mind. Then indeed this being seeth not, neither heareth, nor doth he smell, nor taste, nor touch, nor speaketh he aught, nor taketh in or giveth out, nor cometh nor goeth; he feeleth not any felicity. Then they say of him, ‘He sleepeth’.
