Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (3.8.11) says tad vā etad akṣaraṁ gārgy adṛṣṭaṁ draṣṭṛ aśrutaṁ śrotṛ (O Gārgī, this eternal sees, but is unseen.

As a snake sheds its skin so does he become free from all sins. By the hymns of the Vedas he is carried to Brahmaloka. There he directly sees the Supreme Soul, the Supreme Person residing in the heart." Saṁśaya: Is the person seen and meditated on the four-faced demigod Brahmā or the Supreme Personality of Godhead?
