Mundaka Upanishad 5.9
intermediate
एषोऽणुरात्मा चेतसा वेदितव्यो यस्मिन्प्राणः पञ्चधा संविवेश। प्राणैश्चित्तं सर्वमोतं प्रजानां यस्मिन्विशुद्धे विभवत्येष आत्मा॥
eṣo'ṇurātmā cetasā veditavyo yasminprāṇaḥ pañcadhā saṃviveśa | prāṇaiścittaṃ sarvamotaṃ prajānāṃ yasminviśuddhe vibhavatyeṣa ātmā ||
"This subtle Self is to be known by the mind where the fivefold prana has entered. The mind of all beings is pervaded by prana. When it is purified, this Self becomes manifest."
What This Means:
The subtle Self is known through the mind where the five pranas dwell. All minds are filled with prana. When the mind is pure, the Self reveals itself.
Going Deeper:
The five pranas (prana, apana, vyana, udana, samana) are the vehicles through which Self expresses in the body-mind.
How To Apply This:
Purify the mind where prana dwells. The Self will become manifest.
