तद्वेदगुह्योपनिषत्सु गूढं तद्ब्रह्मा वेदते ब्रह्मयोनिम्। ये पूर्वं देवा ऋषयश्च तद्विदुस्ते तन्मया अमृता वै बभूवुः॥

tadvedaguhyopaniṣatsu gūḍhaṃ tadbrahmā vedate brahmayonim | ye pūrvaṃ devā ṛṣayaśca tadviduste tanmayā amṛtā vai babhūvuḥ ||

"That which is hidden in the secret of the Vedas, in the Upanishads - Brahma knows that as the source of Brahman. The gods and sages of old who knew it became one with it and immortal."

What This Means:

This secret is hidden in the Upanishads. Brahma the creator knows it as the source. Ancient gods and sages who knew it became immortal.

Going Deeper:

Even the creator-god Brahma derives his knowledge from this secret. The Upanishads preserve what makes one immortal.

How To Apply This:

Value the Upanishadic teachings as the source of immortality. This is what even the gods seek to know.
