Mantra 1.6

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of Kena-upaniṣad mantra 1.6:

यच्चक्षुषा न पश्यति येन चक्षूंषि पश्यति ।
तदेव ब्रह्म त्वं विद्धि नेदं यदिदमुपासते ॥ ६ ॥

yaccakṣuṣā na paśyati yena cakṣūṃṣi paśyati |
tadeva brahma tvaṃ viddhi nedaṃ yadidamupāsate || 6 ||

yat—that which; cakṣuṣā—by the eye; na paśyati—does not see; yena—by whom; cakṣūṃṣi—eyes; paśyati—sees, “are seen”, etc.

6. He who cannot be seen by the eyes, but who causes the eye to perceive all visible objects, know Him alone as jīva.

Notes:

That which the man can not see by the eye, (but by whom the eyes are seen), Him alone as Brahman know thou. This (jīva) is not (Brahman) but He who is near to thee (as thy Inner Controller).
