Many years ago I spent a few months in India, just wandering around. Sometimes I feel positively homesick for the place. This is one of the old friends I brought home with me.
There is a Spirit which is mind and life
light and truth and vast spaces
He contains all works and desires and all perfumes and all tastes.
He enfolds the whole universe
and in silence is loving to all.
This is the Spirit that is in my heart,
smaller than a grain of rice, or a grain of barley, or a mustard seed.
This is the Spirit that is in my heart.
greater than the sky, greater than heaven itself
greater than all these worlds.
This is the Spirit that is in my heart,
this is Brahman.
Chandogya Upanishad
