Kena Upanishad 7: Verse 7
यत् श्रोत्रेण न शृणोति येन श्रोत्रमिदं श्रुतम्। तत् एव ब्रह्म त्वं विद्धि नेदं यदिदमुपासते॥७॥
यत्। श्रोत्रेण। न। शृणोति। येन। श्रोत्रम्। इदम्। श्रुतम्। तत्। एव। ब्रह्म। त्वम्। विद्धि। न। इदम्। यत्। इदम्। उपासते ॥७॥
yat śrotreṇa na śṛṇoti yena śrotram idaṃ śrutam | tat eva brahma tvaṃ viddhi nedaṃ yadidam upāsate ||7||
Jo cheez kaan se sunai nahi deti, par jiski wajah se kaan sunta hai, woh Brahma hai. Use jaan lo. Log jo bhi bhagwan ko puja karte hain, woh woh nahi hai.
That which one does not hear with the ear, but by which the ear hears, know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.
