The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

Chapter XII
The Akasa as Brahman
"The akasa is, verily, greater than fire. For in the akasa
exist both the sun and the moon, lightning, stars and fire.
It is through the akasa that a person calls another; it is
through the akasa that the other hears; it is through the
akasa that the person hears back. In the akasa we rejoice
when we are together and in the akasa we rejoice not
when we are separated. In the akasa everything is born
and toward the akasa all things grow. Meditate upon the
akasa.

"He who meditates on the akasa as Brahman obtains the
worlds extending far and wide, luminous, free from pain
and spacious;
he can, of his own free will, reach as far as the akasa
reaches-he who meditates on the akasa as Brahman."
Narada said: "Venerable Sir, is there anything greater
than the akasa?"
"Of course there is something greater than the akasa."
"Please tell that to me, venerable Sir."
