THAT THOU ART
Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.8.7

tat tvam asi Source-Anchor Spine

This great-statement is route-linked to its own Upaniṣad, its exact Gītā bridge, ŚB 1.2.11's advaya-tattva synthesis, and the Bindu/Philosophy constitutional pages. The Brahman-recognition remains joined to Paramātmā and Bhagavān instead of becoming a detached abstraction.

Meaning

The teacher-to-student transmission of identity. Uddālaka tells Śvetaketu nine times — "tat tvam asi · O Śvetaketu" — That (Brahman, the Self-of-All) THOU (the seeker, the apparent jīva) ART. The seer-seen distinction is dissolved. This is the ekatva-pratīka — the non-dual identification taught through paramparā.

Bhagavad-Gītā Anchor

BG 10.22 (vedānāṁ sāma-vedo 'smi · among Vedas I am the Sāma-Veda) — the Chāndogya is Krishna's own scripture · BG 6.29 (ātmaupamyena sarvatra · seeing the same Self in all beings).
