Katha Upanishad 3.13
intermediate
यच्छेद्वाङ्मनसी प्राज्ञस्तद्यच्छेज्ज्ञान आत्मनि। ज्ञानमात्मनि महति नियच्छेत्तद्यच्छेच्छान्त आत्मनि॥

""The wise should merge speech into mind, mind into the knowing self, the knowing self into the great Self, and that into the peaceful Self.""
What This Means:
A meditation instruction: withdraw speech into mind, mind into intellect, intellect into the cosmic Self, and that into pure peaceful Awareness.
Going Deeper:
This describes the process of progressive interiorization - withdrawing from gross to subtle to subtlest.
How To Apply This:
In meditation, progressively withdraw: from outer speech, to inner thought, to pure awareness, to peace.
