प्राणो ब्रह्मेति ह स्माह कौषीतकिः।

prāṇo brahmeti ha smāha kauṣītakiḥ |

"Prana is Brahman, declared Kaushitaki."

What This Means:

The sage Kaushitaki declared that the life force (prana) is identical with the supreme reality (Brahman).

Going Deeper:

This identifies the vital breath with ultimate reality - not as an equation but pointing to the consciousness that animates prana.

How To Apply This:

Notice how the life force animates your body - this energy points to something deeper.
