Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Eleventh Khanda

Then the Gārhapatya fire said to him (Upakosala): ‘The earth, fire, food, and the sun—these are all part of my (i.e., part of Brahman’s) body. The person seen in the solar orb is me. I am that’.

‘He who knows this Gārhapatya fire and worships it thus has all his sins removed, and he attains the world of the Gārhapatya fire. He lives a long and bright life, and his descendants do not perish. In this world and the next, we look after that person who knows this fire and worships it thus’.
