Mundaka Upanishad 5.10
intermediate
यं यं लोकं मनसा संविभाति विशुद्धसत्त्वः कामयते यांश्च कामान्। तं तं लोकं जयते तांश्च कामांस्तस्मादात्मज्ञं ह्यर्चयेद्भूतिकामः॥
yaṃ yaṃ lokaṃ manasā saṃvibhāti viśuddhasattvaḥ kāmayate yāṃśca kāmān | taṃ taṃ lokaṃ jayate tāṃśca kāmāṃstasmādātmajñaṃ hyarcayedbhūtikāmaḥ ||
"Whatever world the one of purified mind envisions with clarity, and whatever desires - those worlds and desires are obtained. Therefore, one who desires prosperity should honor the knower of Self."
What This Means:
A purified person attains whatever world they envision and whatever they desire. So, if you want prosperity, honor those who know the Self.
Going Deeper:
This acknowledges siddhis (powers) that come with Self-knowledge, while redirecting seekers: honor the Self-knower rather than just seeking powers.
How To Apply This:
The Self-knower can fulfill desires. But better to become a Self-knower yourself.
