In him all the Gods become unified.
Atharva Veda XIII, 4, 13
Fame and glory, fruitfulness and fertility, Brahman splendor, food and nourishment,
Atharva Veda XIII, 4, 14
But, venerable Sir, with all this I know words only; I do not know the Self. I have heard from men like you that he who knows the Self overcomes sorrow. I am one afflicted with sorrow. Do you, venerable Sir, help me to cross over to the other side of sorrow. Sanatkumara said to him: Whatever you have read is only a name.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VII, I – Dialogue between Narada and Sanatkumara, 3
Verily, a name is the Rig-Veda; so also are the Yajur-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Atharva-Veda as the fourth Veda, the epics and the ancient lore as the fifth, the Veda of the Vedas, the rules of the sacrifices by which the Manes are gratified, the science of numbers, the science of portents, the science of time, logic, ethics, etymology, Brahma-vidya, the science of elemental spirits, the science of weapons, astronomy, the science of serpents and the fine arts. Meditate on the name.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VII, I – Dialogue between Narada and Sanatkumara, 4
He who meditates on a name as Brahman can, of his own free will, reach as far as the name reaches-he who meditates on a name as Brahman. Narada said: Venerable Sir, is there anything greater than a name? Of course there is something greater than a name. Please tell that to me, venerable Sir.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VII, I – Dialogue between Narada and Sanatkumara, 5
