Mundaka Upanishad 4.2
intermediate
यदर्चिमद्यदणुभ्योऽणु च यस्मिंल्लोका निहिता लोकिनश्च। तदेतदक्षरं ब्रह्म स प्राणस्तदु वाङ्मनः। तदेतत्सत्यं तदमृतं तद्वेद्धव्यं सोम्य विद्धि॥
yadarcimadyadaṇubhyo'ṇu ca yasmiṃllokā nihitā lokinaśca | tadetadakṣaraṃ brahma sa prāṇastadu vāṅmanaḥ | tadetatsatyaṃ tadamṛtaṃ tadveddhavyaṃ somya viddhi ||
"That which is radiant, subtler than the subtle, in which the worlds and their inhabitants are fixed - that is the imperishable Brahman. It is life, speech, and mind. It is truth, it is immortal. Know it as the target to be pierced, O gentle one!"
What This Means:
Brahman is radiant, subtler than subtle, containing all worlds. It is your life, speech, mind. It is truth and immortality. This is your target!
Going Deeper:
"Veddhavya" (to be pierced) introduces the bow-and-arrow metaphor that follows. Brahman is the bullseye.
How To Apply This:
Make Brahman your target. Pierce through to the truth with focused attention.
