Kaushitaki Upanishad 3.7
beginner
आयुर्वै प्राणः प्राणो वा आयुः यावद्ध्यस्मिञ्शरीरे प्राणो वसति तावदायुः।

āyurvai prāṇaḥ prāṇo vā āyuḥ yāvaddhyasmiñśarīre prāṇo vasati tāvadāyuḥ |

"Life is Prana, and Prana is life. As long as Prana dwells in this body, so long there is life."

What This Means:

Life and breath are inseparable - life exists as long as the life force remains in the body.

Going Deeper:

This points to the mystery of life - what makes a body alive? It is the presence of conscious energy.

How To Apply This:

Honor the life force in yourself and others - it is sacred and mysterious.
