Shvetashvatara Upanishad 1.12
intermediate
एतज्ज्ञेयं नित्यमेवात्मसंस्थं नातः परं वेदितव्यं हि किंचित्। भोक्ता भोग्यं प्रेरितारं च मत्वा सर्वं प्रोक्तं त्रिविधं ब्रह्ममेतत्॥
etajjñeyaṃ nityamevātmasaṃsthaṃ nātaḥ paraṃ veditavyaṃ hi kiñcit | bhoktā bhogyaṃ preritāraṃ ca matvā sarvaṃ proktaṃ trividhaṃ brahmetat ||
"This is to be known - the eternal, residing in the self. There is nothing higher to be known than this. Knowing the enjoyer, the enjoyed, and the impeller - this triad, all has been declared. This is Brahman."
What This Means:
What needs to be known is this eternal truth dwelling in the self. Understanding the enjoyer (soul), the enjoyed (nature), and the impeller (God) - this threefold Brahman - is complete knowledge.
Going Deeper:
The complete philosophical framework: jiva (enjoyer), prakriti (enjoyed), and Ishvara (impeller/prerita). Knowing this triad is knowing Brahman.
How To Apply This:
Understand yourself as enjoyer, the world as enjoyed, and God as the power behind both. This is complete knowledge.
