Mundaka Upanishad 3.2.3
नायमात्मा प्रवचनेन लभ्यो न मेधया न बहुना श्रुतेन। यमेवैष वृणुते तेन लभ्यस्तस्यैष आत्मा विवृणुते तनूं स्वाम्॥
nāyam ātmā pravacanena labhyo na medhayā na bahunā śrutena yam evaiṣa vṛṇute tena labhyas tasyaiṣa ātmā vivṛṇute tanūṁ svām
Meaning
The Self cannot be attained by discourse, nor by intellect, nor by much learning. He whom the Self chooses — by him alone is It attained; to him the Self reveals Its own nature.
