ekamātras tathākāśo hy ardhāmātraṃ tu cintayet | siddhiṃ kṛtvā tu manasā cintayed ātmanātmani ||32||

Translation

ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਇਕ ਮਾਤਰਾ ਦਾ ਹੈ; ਅਤੇ ਅੱਧੀ ਮਾਤਰਾ ਦਾ ਧਿਆਨ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਮਨ ਨਾਲ ਸਿੱਧੀ ਕਰਕੇ, ਆਤਮਾ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਆਤਮਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਚਿੰਤਨ ਕਰੇ।

Academic Translation

Likewise, space (ākāśa) is of one mātrā; and one should contemplate the half-mātrā. Having effected accomplishment (siddhi) with the mind, one should contemplate the Self by the self, in the Self.

Verse Context

• Ātma-dhyāna leading to samādhi (Self-abidance)
• Mahavakya: Closest in spirit to 'ayam ātmā brahma' and 'tat tvam asi' as an instruction to internalize identity with the Self; still expressed as yogic method rather than explicit mahāvākya citation.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
