Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Tenth Khanda

With Brahman (in the form of praṇava or cosmic sound, Om) as their leader, the Sādhyas enjoy the fifth nectar (that which seems to be trembling within the sun). As a matter of fact, the gods and goddesses neither eat nor drink. They enjoy merely by seeing the nectar.

They enter into this form of the sun (which seems to be vibrating), and they also come out of this form.

He who knows this nectar thus, becomes one of the Sādhyas. With Brahman (in the form of praṇava) as the leader, he enjoys the nectar by looking at it. He goes into this form (of the sun) and again comes out of it.

As long as the sun rises in the north and sets in the south, twice that long will he (who knows this) rise above and set below. That person will also attain sovereighnt and freedom like the Sādhyas (i.e., he can move up and down as he likes).
