Verse 6.54.23

यन्मयो यो भवत्यन्तः स तदाप्नोत्यसंशयम् ।
ब्रह्मसत्यमवाप्तुं त्वं ब्रह्मसत्यमयो भव ॥ २३ ॥

yanmayo yo bhavatyantaḥ sa tadāpnotyasaṃśayam |
brahmasatyamavāptuṃ tvaṃ brahmasatyamayo bhava || 23 ||

Whoever thinks in his mind, of becoming anything in earnest; he undoubtedly becomes the same in process of time; if therefore you wish to become as Brahma himself, learn betimes to assimilate yourself to the nature of Brahma, in all your thoughts and deeds.
