6.17
aṅguṣṭhamātraḥ puruṣo 'ntarātmā sadā janānāṃ hṛdaye saṃniviṣṭaḥ /
taṃ svāc charīrāt pravṛhen muñjād iveṣīkāṃ dhairyeṇa /
taṃ vidyāc chukram amṛtaṃ taṃ vidyāc chukram amṛtam iti //
17. A Person of the measure of a thumb is the inner soul (antarātman),
Ever seated in the heart of creatures.
Him one should draw out from one’s own body
Like an arrow-shaft out from a reed, with firmness.
Him one should know as the Pure, the Immortal—
Yea, Him one should know as the Pure, the Immortal.
