"In the supreme golden sheath is Brahman, stainless, without parts. It is pure, the light of lights - that which the knowers of Self know."
What This Means:
In the highest golden covering is Brahman - spotless, undivided, pure, the light behind all lights. Those who know the Self know this.
Going Deeper:
The "golden sheath" (hiranyamaya kosha) is the subtlest covering. Within it is Brahman itself - the source of all illumination.
How To Apply This:
There is a light behind all lights. That is what you truly are.
