Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6.12Famous
intermediate
एको वशी निष्क्रियाणां बहूनामेकं बीजं बहुधा यः करोति। तमात्मस्थं येऽनुपश्यन्ति धीरास्तेषां सुखं शाश्वतं नेतरेषाम्॥
eko vaśī niṣkriyāṇāṃ bahūnāmek aṃ bījaṃ bahudhā yaḥ karoti | tamātmasthaṃ ye\'nupaśyanti dhīrāsteṣāṃ sukhaṃ śāśvataṃ netareṣām ||
"The one Controller of the many who are inactive, who makes the one seed manifold - the wise who perceive Him dwelling in the Self, to them belongs eternal bliss, not to others."
What This Means:
The one Lord controls the many inactive (souls). He makes one seed into many. Those who see Him in the Self gain eternal bliss - others do not.
Going Deeper:
Souls are inactive (nishkriya) - only appearing active through the Lord's power. From one seed (Brahman) comes multiplicity. Inner vision is essential.
How To Apply This:
Look within to see the Controller. Eternal bliss belongs to those who find Him in the Self.
