Mundaka Upanishad Verse 3.2.8

Sanskrit

यथा नद्यः स्यन्दमानाः समुद्रेऽस्तं गच्छन्ति नामरूपे विहाय । तथा विद्वान्नामरूपाद्विमुक्तः परात्परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम् ॥ ८ ॥

Transliteration

yathā nadyaḥ syandamānāḥ samudre’staṃ gacchanti nāmarūpe vihāya | tathā vidvānnāmarūpādvimuktaḥ parātparaṃ puruṣamupaiti divyam || 8 ||

Translation

Just as rivers flowing become lost in an ocean, giving up both their name and form, just so, the knower, freed from name and form, attains the bright Purusha which is beyond the unmanifest (avyakta).
