4.3.7
katama ātmetiyo'yaṃ vijñānamayaḥ prāneṣu hṛdyantarjyotiḥ puruṣaḥ sa samānaḥ sannubhau lokāvanusaṃcarati dhyāyatīva lolāyatīva sa hi svapno bhūtvemaṃ lokamatikrāmati mṛtyo rūpāṇi
Ganaka Vaideha said: 'Who is that Self?'
Yâgñavalkya replied: 'He who is within the heart, surrounded by the Prânas (senses), the person of light, consisting of knowledge. He, remaining the same, wanders along the two worlds, as if thinking, as if moving. During sleep (in dream) he transcends this world and all the forms of death (all that falls under the sway of death, all that is perishable).
