And when the yogi beholds the real nature of Brahman, through the Knowledge of the Self, radiant as a lamp, then, having known the unborn and immutable Lord, who is untouched by ignorance and its effects, he is freed from all fetters.
Yajur Veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad, Part I, Chapter II, 15
He indeed, the Lord, who pervades all regions, was the first to be born and it is He who dwells in the womb of the universe. It is He, again, who is born as a child and He will be born in the future, He stands behind all persons and His face is everywhere.
Yajur Veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad, Part I, Chapter II, 16
The Self-luminous Lord, who is fire, who is in water, who has entered into the whole world, who is in plants, who is in trees-to that Lord let there be adoration! Yea, let there be adoration!
Yajur Veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad, Part I, Chapter II, 17
Pure may the Waters flow over our bodies! That which defiles–I fling it upon our foes! I cleanse myself, O Earth, as with a filter.
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 30
Your regions, Earth, to eastward and to northward, southward and westward, may they receive me kindly, whenever on their paths I travel. Never, when standing on your surface, may I totter!
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 31
