Chandogya Upanishad

 



[6.2.1] This planet was just what is present in the beginning, son,one only, without a second. [6.2.3] And it had this thought: “Allow me to multiply. Allow me to reproduce.” [6.8.3] It can’t exist without a foundation. [6.8.4] Look for the root in the existence. My son, the existent is the source of all these animals; the existent is their resting place, their basis. The purest essence here is what makes up the self of the entire world; it is the truth; it is the self (atman).
