Commentary
This passage brings the vastness of ākāśa, space, into direct relation with the inner self. Tejomaya describes the puruṣa as formed of radiance or consciousness, while amṛtamaya points to what is not exhausted by change and death. Sarvānubhūḥ, the one who experiences or comprehends all, deepens the vision of a consciousness that is not confined to an isolated individual. The underlying Upanishadic teaching is the unity of the cosmic and the inward: the luminous reality contemplated in the universe is not separate from the reality discovered within oneself. The familiar expression that what is in the microcosm is also in the macrocosm captures this relationship in accessible language. Self-realization here therefore means recognizing the deepest self as participating in an undivided spiritual reality, rather than treating the individual and the cosmos as wholly separate.
