Prana is not merely breath — it is the universal life-force that animates all beings. The statement "knowing Prana, one becomes Brahman" points to a direct identity: to truly know the life-force — to be fully present in aliveness — is to know Brahman itself. Life and consciousness are not separate from the divine; they ARE the divine in manifest form.
मैं तुम्हें प्राण के विषय में बताऊँगा। प्राण ही सभी प्राणियों का जीवन है। इसीलिए इसे सर्वायु (सबकी आयु) कहते हैं। जो इसे जानता है वह ब्रह्म हो जाता है।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
I shall declare to you Prana. Prana is the life of all beings. Therefore Prana is called the all-life. One who knows this becomes Brahman.
Direct literal rendering preserving Sanskrit philosophical terminology.

मैं तुम्हें प्राण के विषय में बताऊँगा। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
