yasmin dyauḥ pṛthivī cāntarikṣaṁ otaṁ manaḥ saha prāṇaiśca sarvaiḥ. tamevaikaṁ jānatha ātmānam anyā vāco vimuñcathāmṛtasyaiṣa setuḥ.
Heaven, the earth and the space in between the two, and the mind along with prāṇas are woven in this Brahman. May you know that non-dual Brahman to be the very ātman. Give up all other words. This is the bridge to mokṣa.
Tam eva ekam ātmānaṁ jānatha : may you know that Brahman to be non-dual, and that non-dual Brahman to be the very self. This statement is a mahā-vākya, revealing the oneness of self and Brahman. Tam eva jānatha, may you know that only. Why? Because you wanted to know that, knowing which everything is as well known.
~Dayananda
He, in whom the heaven, the earth and the interspace are centred, together with the mind and all life breaths (prāṇas) – know Him alone as the one Self of all, and desist from all other talks. This is the man’s bridge to the shore of Immortality (across the ocean of life).
Know Him – Here the term ‘Know’ does not mean the ordinary meaning of knowing the object through intervention of the instruments of knowledge. Here, the object of knowledge is but the subject itself and, as such, here the word ‘know’ means only a rediscovery – a recognition. This rediscovery or Self-realisation is not possible so long as the seeker is preoccupied with the world of external objects and their problems, and hence the Śruti advises every seeker to ‘desist from all other talks.’
~Chinmayananda
In Him are woven heaven, earth, and the space between, and the mind with all the sense-organs. Know that non-dual Atman alone and give up all other talk. He is the bridge to Immortality.
TALK: All talk related to the lower knowledge is futile, nay harmful, for the seeker of Brahman.
~Nikhilananda
