Mundaka Upanishad 6.7
advanced
गताः कलाः पञ्चदश प्रतिष्ठा देवाश्च सर्वे प्रतिदेवतासु। कर्माणि विज्ञानमयश्च आत्मा परेऽव्यये सर्व एकीभवन्ति॥

gatāḥ kalāḥ pañcadaśa pratiṣṭhā devāśca sarve pratidevatāsu | karmāṇi vijñānamayaśca ātmā pare'vyaye sarva ekībhavanti ||

"The fifteen parts return to their foundations, all the gods to their respective deities, actions and the knowledge-self - all become one in the supreme Imperishable."

What This Means:

At liberation, the fifteen parts (bodily functions) return to their cosmic sources. Actions and the knowing self merge into the supreme, unchanging One.

Going Deeper:

The fifteen kalas include ten senses, five pranas. All dissolve into their origins. Even the vijnanamaya atma (intellect-self) merges.

How To Apply This:

Everything returns to its source. You too will merge back into the One.
