A tender image. In deep sleep, all faculties return to the Self as birds return to their roosting tree at night. The Ātman is the home-place of consciousness; sleep is the daily homecoming.
हे सौम्य! जैसे पक्षी रात्रि में अपने आश्रय-वृक्ष पर लौट आते हैं, वैसे ही ये सब परम आत्मा में प्रतिष्ठित हो जाते हैं।

हे सौम्य! जैसे पक्षी रात्रि में अपने आश्रय-वृक्ष पर लौट आते हैं, वैसे ही ये सब परम आत्मा में प्रतिष्ठित हो जाते हैं। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
