This is Brahman; this is Indra; this is Prajapati; these are all the gods; and these five great elements—earth, air, space, water, and light; and these beings, as it were, mingled with the small; the seeds of the one kind and the other—those born from an egg, from a womb, from moisture, and by sprouting; horses, cattle, humans, elephants; whatever breathes here, moving or flying, and whatever is stationary. All this is guided by consciousness (prajnana), founded on consciousness. The world is guided by consciousness; consciousness is its foundation. Consciousness is Brahman.
