The Aitereya Upanishad
Chapter I
1. In the beginning the Spirit was One and all this (universe)
was the Spirit; there was nought else that saw. The Spirit thought, "Lo, I will make me worlds from out my being."
2. These were the worlds he made; Ambhah, of the ethereal waters, Marichih of light, Mara, of death and mortal things,
Apah, of the lower waters. Beyond the shining firmament are the ethereal waters and the firmament is their base and
resting-place; Space is the world of light; the earth is the world mortal; and below the earth are the lower waters.
3. The Spirit

Four Fragments

The answer to all philosophical problems hinges on the one
question, What is myself? It is only by knowing man's real self that we can know God; for whatever we may think or know,
the value of the thought and the knowledge must hinge upon the knower, the means of knowledge and

The Nature of God
Chapter I
The view of cosmic evolution which has been set forth in the first
book of this exegesis,1 may seem deficient to the ordinary religious consciousness which is limited & enslaved by its creeds and
to which its particular way of worship is a master and not a servant, because it leaves no room for a "Personal" God. The idea
of a Personal God is, however, a contradiction in terms. God is Universal, he is Omnipresent, Infinite, not subject to limits. This
all religions confess, but the next moment they n

I
1. By whom willed falleth the Mind when it is sent on its
mission? By whom yoked goeth forth the primal Breath? By whom controlled is this Speech that men utter? What God
yokes the vision1 and the hearing?
2. That which is the Hearing behind hearing, the Mind of
mind, utters the Speech behind speech,—He too is the Life of the life-breath and the Vision behind seeing. The wise put
these away and pass beyond; departing from this world they become immortal.
3. There Sight goes not, nor there Speech, nor the Mind arrives. We know it not, nor

Before which one repeats the Mantra.
OM. May we hear what is auspicious with our ears, O ye Gods;
may we see what is auspicious with our eyes, O ye of the sacrifice; giving praise with steady limbs, with motionless bodies, may we
enter into that life which is founded in the Gods.

The Katha Upanishad
of the Black Yajurveda
THE FIRST CYCLE; FIRST CHAPTER
1. Vajasravasa, desiring, gave all he had. Now Vajasravasa had a son named Nachiketas.
2. As the gifts were led past, faith took possession of him who was yet a boy unwed and he pondered:
3. "Cattle that have drunk their water, eaten their grass, yielded their milk, worn out their organs, of undelight are
the worlds which he reaches who gives such as these."

The Philosophy of the Upanishads
Chapter I
Prefatory
The philosophy of the Upanishads is the basis of all Indian religion and morals and to a considerable extent of Hindu politics, legislation and society. Its practical importance to [our] race
is therefore immense. But it has also profoundly [affected] the thought of the West in many of the most critical stages of [its] development; at first through Pythagoras and other Greek philosophers, then through Buddhism working into Essene, Gnostic and
Roman Christianity and once again in our own times through German metaph
