The Upaniṣads / Īśāvāsya / 6 Beings in the self
6
यस् तु सर्वाणि भूतान्यात्मन्येवानुपश्यति ।
सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं ततो न विजुगुप्सते yas tu sarvāṇi bhūtāny ātmany evānupaśyati |
sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṃ tato na vijugupsate
The line
Who sees all beings in the self itself, and the self in all beings, from that does not shrink back.
नेपालीमा
जो सबै प्राणीलाई आत्मामै देख्छ र सबै प्राणीमा आत्मालाई देख्छ, त्यो त्यसबाट पछि सर्दैन।
Where it sits
The seeing runs both ways. Beings in the self. The self in beings. Mantra 7 will say what happens when that seeing has already become the case. The verb vijugupsate (विजुगुप्सते) is the same verb the Kaṭha (कठ) uses of the person the size of a thumb, na tato vijugupsate (न ततो विजुगुप्सते), at 4.12.
Split: yaḥ (यः) + tu (तु) + sarvāṇi (सर्वाणि) + bhūtāni (भूतानि) + ātmani (आत्मनि) + eva (एव) + anupaśyati (अनुपश्यति) + sarva-bhūteṣu (सर्व-भूतेषु) + ca (च) + ātmānam (आत्मानम्) + tataḥ (ततः) + na (न) + vijugupsate (विजुगुप्सते)
