Mandukya Karika 2.29

Sanskrit Verse

यं भावं दर्शयेद्यस्य तं भावं स तु पश्यति ।
तं चावति स भूत्वासौ तद्ग्रहः समुपैति तम् ॥ २९ ॥

Transliteration

yaṃ bhāvaṃ darśayedyasya taṃ bhāvaṃ sa tu paśyati |
taṃ cāvati sa bhūtvāsau tadgrahaḥ samupaiti tam || 29 ||

Translation

He (the inquirer) cognizes only that idea that is presented to him. It (Ātman) assumes the form (of what is cognized) and thus protects (the inquirer). Possessed by that (idea) he realises it (as the sole essence).
