Geeta chapter 15 Stanzas 9 to

Krishna continues_
"The mind rides on the back of ears, eyes, skin, taste, and smell and rejoices in the pleasure of the senses.
While in the body and when leaving it, while in the deep oblivion of passion, and when obeying the dictates of the Gunas and performing the duties of life with alertness, the densely ignorant do not see the seer living in the interior of the mind, vigilant and  watchful.
The yogi who makes a rigorous and disciplined effort to know the seer who lives in the body is able to see it with his mind's eye. To be able to see the seer(the Atman), you have to look  beyond the body.
The luminous light that dwells in the sun, the moon and the fire, regard them all of the same essence. All of it belongs to me.
I became the cosmic hunger and dwelt inside of every being. I am the breath coming in and going out; that breath is the power with which they digest the food.
I am there in the heart of all beings. I am the cause of memory, knowledge and oblivion. All the Vedas are created with the desire to know the essence of me. I have been at the back of the emergence of the Vedanta which is the distilled knowledge contained in the Vedas.
There are two kinds of Putrusha in the world. They are called Kshara and Akshara. All beings are Kshara and that one who is occult is called Akshara.
However, that One Purusha who is over and above Kshara and Akshara is the Paramatma : The Being who is beyond all beings. He pervades the three realms. He bears and controls them without diminishing in form and energy.
I am beyond the Kshara and Akshara. The enlightened ones know me as Purushottama that is the Supreme Purusha.
The knowledge of that ultimate Purusha is the supreme knowledge. The one who knows me in this essential ME, will know everything. He will worship me with undivided emotion.
O innocent one, I have delivered to you the most secret of all doctrines. It is that which leads man to enlightenment and fills him with a sense of fulfillment.

Aum which is the word of truth with which ends here the fifteenth chapter Purushottama yoga which is a part of the Upanishdad called Bhagavadgeeta which is contained in the dialogue between Krishna and Arjun  and forms a part of Yogashastra in Brahmavidya.
