5.12.2

atsy annaṃ paśyasi priyam \
atty annaṃ paśyati priyam bhavaty asya brahmavarcasaṃ kule ye etam evam ātmānaṃ vaiśvānaram upāste \
mūdhā tv eṣa ātmana iti hovāca \
mūrdhā te vyapatiṣyad yan māṃ nāgamiṣya iti \\512.2\

'So you eat food and see what is dear. One who meditates on this Vaiśvānara Ātman thus, eats food and sees what is dear, and there is in his family the holy effulgence born of sacred wisdom. But this is only the head of the Ātman. If you had not come to me your head would have fallen down.'

Swami Swahananda 1956, The Chāndogya Upaniṣad
