अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः पुरुषोऽन्तरात्मा सदा जनानां हृदये सन्निविष्टः ।तं स्वाच्छरीरात्प्रवृहेन्मुञ्जादिवेषीकां धैर्येण ॥तं विद्याच्छुक्रममृतं तं विद्याच्छुक्रममृतमिति ॥ १७ ॥
In plain words
The Person of the measure of a thumb, the inner Self, always seated in the heart of all people — one should draw him out from one's own body with steadiness, as one draws the pith from a muñja-reed. One should know him as the bright, the immortal; one should know him as the bright, the immortal.
