The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

1
He, the One and Undifferentiated, who by the manifold
application of His powers produces, in the beginning,
different objects for a hidden purpose and, in the end,
withdraws the universe into Himself, is indeed the selfluminous-May
He endow us with clear intellect!
2
That Supreme Self is Agni (Fire); It is Aditya (Sun); It
is Vayu (Wind); It is Chandrama (Moon). That Self is
the luminous stars; It is Hiranyagarbha; It is water; It is
Virat.
3
Thou art woman, Thou art man; Thou art youth and
maiden too. Thou as an old man totterest along on a
staff; it is Thou alone who, when born, assumest
diverse forms.
4
Thou art the dark-blue bee; Thou art the green parrot
with red eyes; Thou art the thunder-cloud, the seasons
and the seas. Thou art beginningless and all-pervading.
From Thee all the worlds are born.
