Katha Upanishad Verse 2.1.5

The Atman is here described as the “honey-eater”—the true enjoyer of all experiences through the individual soul (jīva). Recognized as the lord of all time (past and future) and ever-present within, the realization of this Self removes all fear. This universal presence is indeed the “That” (Brahman) being sought.

Sanskrit Verse

ya imaṃ madhvadaṃ veda ātmānaṃ jīvamantikāt | īśānaṃ bhūtabhavyasya na tato vijugupsate | etadvai tat || 5 ||

Translation

He who knows this Ātman, the honey- eater (perceiver and enjoyer of objects), ever near, as the lord of the past and future, fears no more. This verily is That.
