स यो ध्यानं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते यावद्ध्या-नस्य गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवतियो ध्यानं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवो ध्या-नाद्भूय इति ध्यानाद्वाव भूयोऽस्तीतितन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ २ ॥

In plain words

Whoever meditates upon meditation as Brahman—as far as the reach of meditation extends, he enjoys complete freedom of movement there, he who meditates upon meditation as Brahman. 'Is there anything greater than meditation, venerable sir?' 'Indeed, there is something greater than meditation.' 'That, venerable sir, please explain to me.'
