Katha Upanishad 5.12Famous
intermediate
एको वशी सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा एकं रूपं बहुधा यः करोति। तमात्मस्थं येऽनुपश्यन्ति धीरास्तेषां सुखं शाश्वतं नेतरेषाम्॥
eko vaśī sarvabhūtāntarātmā ekaṃ rūpaṃ bahudhā yaḥ karoti | tamātmasthaṃ ye'nupaśyanti dhīrāsteṣāṃ sukhaṃ śāśvataṃ netareṣām ||
""The one Controller, the inner Self of all beings, who makes the one form manifold - to the wise who see Him in their own selves belongs eternal bliss, not to others.""
What This Means:
The one Self multiplies itself into many forms. Those wise ones who see this Self within themselves attain eternal happiness - others don't.
Going Deeper:
"Vashi" (controller) emphasizes the Self's mastery. Seeing it "within oneself" is the key to eternal bliss.
How To Apply This:
Eternal happiness isn't outside - it's found by seeing the Self within yourself.
