Mundaka Upanishad 4.7
intermediate
यः सर्वज्ञः सर्वविद्यस्यैष महिमा भुवि। दिव्ये ब्रह्मपुरे ह्येष व्योम्न्यात्मा प्रतिष्ठितः॥

yaḥ sarvajñaḥ sarvavidyasyaiṣa mahimā bhuvi | divye brahmapure hyeṣa vyomnyātmā pratiṣṭhitaḥ ||

"He who is all-knowing, all-wise - His is this greatness on earth. In the divine city of Brahman, in the space (of the heart), the Self is established."

What This Means:

The all-knowing Self, whose glory is seen on earth, dwells in the "city of Brahman" - the heart-space. There the Self is established.

Going Deeper:

Brahma-pura (city of Brahman) is the heart. Despite being infinite, the Self is "established" there - accessible through the heart.

How To Apply This:

The city of Brahman is your heart. Enter that city through meditation.
