एष लोकपालः एष लोकाधिपतिः एष सर्वेश्वरः। स म आत्मेति विद्यात्।

eṣa lokapālaḥ eṣa lokādhipatiḥ eṣa sarveśvaraḥ | sa ma ātmeti vidyāt |

"He is the world's guardian, the world's lord, the lord of all. Know that He is my Self."

What This Means:

The supreme lord and protector of all worlds is one's own Self - this is what must be known.

Going Deeper:

The cosmic lord (Ishvara) is not separate from one's Atman - this is the non-dual teaching.

How To Apply This:

The supreme power of the universe is not separate from your own true Self.
