Chandogya Upanishad 8.13.1

From the dark (the Brahman of the heart) I come to the nebulous (the world of Brahman), from the nebulous to the dark, shaking off all evil, as a horse shakes his hairs, and as the moon frees herself from the mouth of Râhu. Having shaken off the body, I obtain, self made and satisfied, the uncreated world of Brahman, yea, I obtain it.

In plain words: The seeker declares: I move from the hidden Brahman (the ultimate reality) within my heart to the bright world of Brahman. I shake off all wrongdoing like a horse shaking its hair, and like the moon coming free after an eclipse (Rahu is the demon said to swallow the moon). Leaving the body behind, I reach the world of Brahman that was never made, fulfilled and at peace.
