महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-225, verse-14

आकाशस्य तदा घोषं तं विद्वान्कुरुतेऽऽत्मनि ।
तदव्यक्तं परं ब्रह्म तच्छाश्वतमनुत्तमम् ।
एवं सर्वाणि भूतानि ब्रह्मैव प्रतिसंचरः ॥१४॥

14. ākāśasya tadā ghoṣaṁ taṁ vidvānkurute''tmani ,
tadavyaktaṁ paraṁ brahma tacchāśvatamanuttamam ,
evaṁ sarvāṇi bhūtāni brahmaiva pratisaṁcaraḥ.

14. ākāśasya tadā ghoṣam tam vidvān kurute
ātmani tat avyaktam param brahma
tat śāśvatam anuttamam evam sarvāṇi
bhūtāni brahma eva pratisaṃcaraḥ

14. tadā vidvān ākāśasya ghoṣam tam ātmani
kurute tat avyaktam param brahma
tat śāśvatam anuttamam evam sarvāṇi
bhūtāni brahma eva pratisaṃcaraḥ

14. Then, the wise person directs that sound (ghoṣa) of space (ākāśa) into the self (ātman). That is the unmanifest (avyakta), supreme (parama) Reality (brahman). That (reality) is eternal and unsurpassed. Thus, for all beings (bhūta), the return (pratisaṃcara) is indeed to brahman.
