Chandogya Upanishad 8.3

8.3.1

ta ime satyāḥ kāmā anṛtāpidhānāḥ \
teṣāṃ satyānāṃ satām anṛtam apidhānam \
yo yo hy asyetaḥ praiti na tam iha darśanāya labhate \\803.1\

1. These same are real desires (satya kāma) with a covering of what is false. Although they are real, there is a covering that is false.

For truly, whoever of one's [fellows] departs hence, one does not get him [back] to look at here. 2. But those of one's [fellows] who are alive there, and those who have departed, and whatever else one desires but does not get—all this one finds by going in there [i.e. in the Soul]; for there, truly, are those real desires of his which have a covering of what is false.

8.3.2

atha ye cāsyeha jīvā ye ca pretā yac cānyad icchan na labhate sarvaṃ tad atra gatvā vindate \
atra hy asyaite satyāḥ kāmā anṛtāpidhānāḥ \
tad yathāpi hiraṇyanidhiṃ nihitam akṣetrajñā upary upari sañcaranto na vindeyuḥ \
evam evemāḥ sarvāḥ prajā ahar ahar gacchantya etaṃ brahmalokaṃ na vindanty anṛtena hi pratyūḍhāḥ \\803.2\

So, just as those who do not know the spot might go over a hid treasure of gold again and again, but not find it, even so all creatures here go day by day to that Brahma-world (brahma-loka) [in deep sleep], but do not find it; for truly they are carried astray by what is false.

8.3.3

sa vā eṣa ātmā hṛdi \
tasyaitad eva niruktaṃ hṛdy ayam iti tasmād dhṛd ayam \
ahar ahar vā evaṃvit svargaṃ lokam eti \\803.3\

3. Verily, this Soul (Ātman) is in the heart. The etymological explanation (nirukta) thereof is this: This one is in the heart (hṛdy ayam); therefore it is the heart (hṛdayam). Day by day, verily, he who knows this goes to the heavenly world (svarga loka).

8.3.4

atha ya eṣa saṃprasādo 'smāc charīrāt samutthāya paraṃ jyotir upasaṃpadya svena rūpenābhiniṣpadyata eṣa ātmeti hovāca \
etad amṛtam abhayam etad brahmeti \
tasya ha vā etasya brahmaṇo nāma satyam iti \\803.4\

4. Now, that serene one who, rising up out of this body, reaches the highest light and appears with his own form—he is the Soul (Ātman),' said he [i.e. the teacher]. 'That is the immortal, the fearless. That is Brahma.'

Verily, the name of that Brahma is the Real (satyam).

8.3.5

tāni ha vā etāni trīṇy akṣarāṇi satīyam iti \
tad yat sat tad amṛtam \
atha yat ti tan martyam \
atha yad yaṃ tenobhe yacchati \
yad anenobhe yacchati tasmād yam \
ahar ahar vā evaṃvit svargaṃ lokam eti \\803.5\

5. Verily, these are the three syllables: sat-ti-yam. The sat (Being)—that is the immortal. The ti—that is the mortal. Now the yam—with that one holds the two together. Because with it one holds (√yam) the two together, therefore it is yam. Day by day, verily, he who knows this goes to the heavenly world.
