Sanskrit recitationPaingala Upanishad 27

yadā yāty unmanī-bhāvas tadā tat paramaṃ padam | yatra yatra mano yāti tatra tatra paraṃ padam ||27||

إذا بُلِغَتْ حالُ الأُنمَني فذلك هو المقامُ الأعلى. وأينما يمضي الذهنُ فثمَّ—ثمَّ يكونُ المقامُ الأعلى.

When the state of unmanī is attained, then that is the supreme abode. Wherever the mind goes, there—there is the supreme abode.

Paramapada (supreme state) as nondual Brahman; omnipresence of Brahman; unmanī as contemplative pointerMahavakya: Resonates with “सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म (sarvaṃ khalv idaṃ brahma)” (Chāndogya) and the import of “तत् त्वम् असि (tat tvam asi)”—the Supreme is not elsewhere; it is all-pervasive and immediate.AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
