Chandogya Upanishad: Tat Tvam Asi (That Thou Art)

“In Chandogya Upanishad (Samaveda • Principal Upanishad), the Vedic rishis proclaim that outer cosmos and inner consciousness are woven upon a single loom of sacred order (Rta): Uddalaka Aruni instructs his son Svetaketu through the parables of the banyan seed and salt dissolved in water, revealing 'Tat Tvam Asi' (That Thou Art).”

“Come together, speak together, let your minds be of one accord; common be your counsel, common your assembly, united be your hearts and intentions (Samjnana Sukta).”

“May noble thoughts come to us from every side (Aa No Bhadrah Kratavo Yantu Vishvatah), unhindered, victorious, and ever-renewing.”

“Truth is One, though the sages speak of It by many names (Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti).”

“We meditate on the adorable glory of the radiant Sun (Savitr); may He inspire and illuminate our intelligence (Gayatri Mantra).”

“Lead me from the unreal to the Real; lead me from darkness to Light; lead me from death to Immortality (Asato Ma Sadgamaya).”

“Then even non-existence was not, nor existence. There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it. Who knows truly? Who shall here declare whence it was born and whence comes this creation? (Nasadiya Sukta).”

“All this—whatever moves in this moving universe—is enveloped by the Lord. Renounce and enjoy; do not covet the wealth of anyone.”
