Context:
As a lump of salt has neither inside nor outside and is altogether
a homogeneous mass of taste, even so this Self, my dear, has neither inside
nor outside and is altogether a homogeneous mass of Intelligence.
(~Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Verse 13)

सयथासैन्धवधनोऽनन्तरोऽबाह्यः कृत्स्नोरसघनएवेवंवा अरेऽयमात्मानन्तरोऽबाह्यःकृत्स्नःप्रज्ञानघ
नएवैतेभ्योभूतेभ्यः समुत्थायतान्येवानुविनश्यतिनपेत्यसंज्ञास्तीत्यरेब्रविमीतिहोवाचयाज्ञवल्क्यः॥
(~ बृहदारण्यक उपनिषद, श्लोक १३)

This Self comes out as a separate entity from the elements and with their destruction
this separate existence is also destroyed. After attaining this oneness it has no more consciousness. This is what I say, my dear. So said Yajnavalkya.
(~Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Verse 13)

सयथासैन्धवधनोऽनन्तरोऽबाह्यः कृत्स्नोरसघनएवेवंवा अरेऽयमात्मानन्तरोऽबाह्यः कृत्स्नः प्रज्ञानघ
अरेऽयमात्मानन्तरोऽबाह्यःकृत्स्नःप्रज्ञानघ नएवैतेभ्योभूतेभ्यः समुत्थायतान्येवानुविनश्यतिनपेत्यसंज्ञास्तीत्यरेब्रविमीतिहोवाचयाज्ञवल्क्यः॥
