Katha Upanishad 3.12
intermediate
एष सर्वेषु भूतेषु गूढोत्मा न प्रकाशते। दृश्यते त्वग्र्यया बुद्ध्या सूक्ष्मया सूक्ष्मदर्शिभिः॥
eṣa sarveṣu bhūteṣu gūḍhotmā na prakāśate | dṛśyate tvagryayā buddhyā sūkṣmayā sūkṣmadarśibhiḥ ||
""This Self, hidden in all beings, does not shine forth. But it is seen by the subtle seers through their sharp, subtle intellect.""
What This Means:
The Self is hidden in everyone but doesn't obviously show itself. Only those with refined, subtle perception can see it.
Going Deeper:
The Self is always present but veiled by grosser layers. Refinement of intellect removes these veils.
How To Apply This:
Refine your perception. The Self is here but hidden. Subtle seeing reveals it.
