译文
Uddālaka Āruṇi said to his son Śvetaketu: "Learn from me, my dear, what sleep is. When a man, as they say, sleeps, he has become united with Being, my dear: he has gone into his own. Therefore they say of him 'he sleeps' (svapiti): for he has gone into his own (svam apīta).

A new lesson begins where all philosophy humbly halts — with sleep. Where does a man go when "he is not there"? Uddālaka's answer is astonishing: a sleeper is not absent — he has come home: satā sampanno bhavati — "he has become united with Being". And language itself is called to witness: svapiti ("he sleeps") the father hears as svam apīta, "gone into his own". The people's speech, without knowing it, has for millennia been professing that sleep is a return to Being.
Every night, then, every man — the righteous and the thief, the knower and the ignorant — is a guest at the Source: that is why sleep heals, that is whence the morning's freshness of strength. But he is a guest without memory and without a meeting — like an infant in arms who does not know whose arms they are. The whole difference between the sleeper and the sage is not where they go but whether they recognise: and bhakti is the art of that same nearness with open eyes — not to dissolve into "one's own" but to recognise Him in one's Own.
