Sanskrit: अङ्गुष्ठमात्रः पुरुषोऽन्तरात्मासदा जनानां हृदये संनिविष्टः ।  तं स्वाच्छरीरात्प्रवृहेन्मुञ्जादिवेषीकां धैर्येण ।  तं विद्याच्छुक्रममृतं तं विद्याच्छुक्रममृतमिति  
English: 17  The Purusha, not larger than a thumb, the inner Self, always dwells in the hearts of men. Let a man separate Him from his body with steadiness, as one separates the tender stalk from a blade of grass. Let him know that Self as the Bright, as the Immortal-yea, as the Bright, as the Immortal.
