Uddālaka said - ‘Bring me a fruit from this banyan tree.’ Śvetaketu replied - ‘I have brought it, sir.’ Uddālaka - ‘Break it.’ Śvetaketu - ‘I’ve broken it, sir.’ Uddālaka - ‘What do you see inside?’ Śvetaketu - ‘There are tiny seeds, sir.’ Uddālaka - ‘Break one of them, my son.’ Śvetaketu - ‘Sir, I’ve broken it.’ Uddālaka - ‘What do you see in it?’ Śvetaketu - ‘Nothing, sir’.
Uddālaka said - ‘O Somya, the finest part in that seed is not visible to you. But in that finest part lies hidden the huge banyan tree. Have faith in what I say, O Somya’.
‘That which is the subtlest of all is the Self of all this. It is the Truth. It is the Self. That you are, O Śvetaketu.’ Śvetaketu then said - ‘Sir, please explain this to me again.’ ‘Yes, Somya, I will explain it again,’ replied his father.
