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.

Thirteenth Khanda

Next the Āhavanīya fire said to Upakosala: ‘Prāṇa, space, swarga-loka, and lightning—these are all part of my (i.e., part of Brahman’s) body. The person seen in lightning is me. I am that’.

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