Katha Upanishad 6.2
intermediate
यदिदं किञ्च जगत्सर्वं प्राण एजति निःसृतम्। महद्भयं वज्रमुद्यतं य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति॥
yadidaṃ kiñca jagatsarvaṃ prāṇa ejati niḥsṛtam | mahadbhayaṃ vajramudyataṃ ya etadviduramṛtāste bhavanti ||
""Whatever exists in this entire world trembles in prana, having come forth from it. This is a great terror, like an upraised thunderbolt. Those who know this become immortal.""
What This Means:
Everything in the universe vibrates within the cosmic life-force (prana). Brahman is like a raised thunderbolt - terrifying in its power. Knowing this brings immortality.
Going Deeper:
The "terror" isn't negative - it's the awesome power of Brahman that keeps all creation in order through reverence.
How To Apply This:
Feel the awesome power that sustains all existence. That same power is your source.
