PRAŚNA UPANISHAD · 4.9
एष हि द्रष्टा स्प्रष्टा श्रोता घ्राता रसयिता मन्ता बोद्धा कर्ता
विज्ञानात्मा पुरुषः । स परेऽक्षर आत्मनि सम्प्रतिष्ठते ॥ ४.९॥
eṣa hi draṣṭā spraṣṭā śrotā ghrātā rasayitā mantā boddhā kartā
vijñānātmā puruṣaḥ । sa pare’kṣara ātmani sampratiṣṭhate ॥ 4.9॥
“For this that seeth and toucheth, heareth, smelleth, tasteth, feeleth, understandeth, acteth, is the reasoning self, the Male within. This too departeth into the Higher Self which is Imperishable.
Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 18, p. 187
