(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.4.6)

The brahmana rejects one who knows him as different from the Atman. The kshatriya rejects one who knows him as different from the Atman. The worlds reject one who knows them as different from the Atman. The gods reject one who knows them as different from the Atman. Beings reject one who knows them as different from the Atman. All rejects one who knows all as different from the Atman. This brahmana, this kshatriya, these worlds, these gods, these beings, and this All are the Atman.
