Sanskrit recitationSkanda Upanishad 10

yathāntaraṃ na bhedāḥ syuḥ śiva-keśavayostathā | deho devālayaḥ proktaḥ sa jīvaḥ kevalaḥ śivaḥ ||10||

جس طرح شِو اور کیشوَ کے بیچ اندرونی طور پر کوئی امتیاز نہیں، اسی طرح یہ بدن دیوالیۂ خدا (معبدِ الٰہی) کہا گیا ہے؛ اور یہ جیو (فردی آتما) محض شِو ہی ہے۔

Just as there would be no differences within Śiva and Keśava, so (too) the body is declared to be a temple of God; that individual self (jīva) is solely Śiva.

Abheda (non-difference) of Jīva and Śiva/Brahman; deha as devālayaMahavakya: Supports the purport of ‘tat tvam asi’ and ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’ by asserting non-difference of the indwelling self and the Supreme (Śiva).AtharvaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
