Beyond the senses are the objects; beyond the objects is the mind; beyond the mind, the intellect; beyond the intellect, the Great Atman; beyond the Great Atman, the Unmanifest; beyond the Unmanifest, the Purusha. Beyond the Purusha there is nothing: this is the end, the Supreme Goal.
Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter III, 10-11
That Self hidden in all beings does not shine forth; but It is seen by subtle seers through their one-pointed and subtle intellects.
Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part One, Chapter III, 12
May Earth who bears mankind, each different grouping maintaining its own customs and its speech, yield up for me a thousand streams of treasure, like a placid cow that never resists the hand.
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 45
From your numberless tracks by which mankind may travel, your roads on which move both chariots and wagons your paths which are used by the good and the bad, may we choose a way free from foes and robbers! May you grant us the blessing of all that is wholesome!
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 47
She carries in her lap the foolish and also the wise. She bears the death of the wicked as well as the good. She lives in friendly collaboration with the boar, offering herself as sanctuary to the wild pig.
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 48
