अहं प्राणोऽस्मि प्रज्ञात्मा तं मामायुरमृतमित्युपास्स्व।

ahaṃ prāṇo'smi prajñātmā taṃ māmāyuramṛtamityupāssva |

"I am Prana, the intelligent Self. Worship Me as life, as immortality."

What This Means:

Indra declares his true nature as the conscious life force and instructs Pratardana to meditate on this as life and deathlessness.

Going Deeper:

The highest teaching: the Self is the conscious principle that gives life, and knowing this brings immortality.

How To Apply This:

Meditate on consciousness itself - the aware presence that gives life to all experience.
