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.

Twelfth Khanda

Next the Dakṣiṇāgni (Southern) fire said to Upakosala: ‘Water, the quarters (directions), the stars, and the moon—these are all part of my (i.e., part of Brahman’s) body. The person seen in the moon is me. I am that’.

‘He who knows this Dakṣiṇāgni fire and worships it thus has all his sins removed, and he attains the world of the Dakṣiṇāgni 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’.
