O mighty Power, the God who never slumbers, be here attentive, O Lord; hear our cry. Not for you, O God, to be angry or destroy! May we speak, as men of valor, a strong word!
Rig Veda II, 33, 15
The Cows have come and have brought us good fortune. In our stalls, contented, may they stay! May they bring forth calves for us, many-colored, giving milk for Indra each day.
Rig Veda VI, 28, 1
Indra seeks to help him who offers and gives, augmenting, not diminishing, his possessions. Evermore increasing his treasure, he places the pious in a realm inviolate.
Rig Veda VI, 28, 2
For when there is duality, as it were, then one smells another, one sees another, one hears another, one speaks to another, one thinks of another, one knows another. But when everything has become the Self, then what should one smell and through what, what should one see and through what, what should one hear and through what, what should one speak and through what, what should one think and through what, what should one know and through what? Through what should One know That owing to which all this is known-through what, my dear, should one know the Knower?
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad II, IV-Yajnavalkya and Maitreyi (I), 14
This Earth is the honey (effect) of all beings, and all beings are the honey (effect) of this earth. Likewise, the bright, immortal being who is in this earth and the bright, immortal, corporeal being who is in the body are both honey. These four are but this Self. The Knowledge of this Self is the means to Immortality; this underlying unity is Brahman; this Knowledge of Brahman is the means of becoming all.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad II, V-The Interdependence of Created Objects, 1
