Verse 6.128.38

प्रविष्टं सकलं ब्रह्म सदा ध्यायेत्स्वकर्मकृत् ।
एवमभ्यसतः पुंसो मनोऽस्तं याति तत्र वै ॥ ३८ ॥

praviṣṭaṃ sakalaṃ brahma sadā dhyāyetsvakarmakṛt |
evamabhyasataḥ puṃso mano'staṃ yāti tatra vai || 38 ||

Thus should one meditate himself as Brahma, even when he is employed in discharging the duties destined to his station in life: and his continued practice of this kind of meditation, will gradually wear out all other impressions from his mind.
