Vedika source-faithful rendering checked against Chāndogya Upanishad 6.8.7; not a quoted published translation.
“Tat tvam asi turns the seeker inward: the truth being sought is not separate from the deepest Self.”
Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7
Vedika commentary
Vedika should frame this with reverence and precision: not ego inflation, but a teaching on the deepest identity revealed through inquiry.
Vedika distinguishes the original Sanskrit, a literal rendering, and an interpretive paraphrase so that the words of the text are never confused with explanation.
