Chapter5— Mundaka Upanishad
Brahman, the first of the gods, taught to Atharva the knowledge of Brahman, the foundation of all knowledge. 2That knowledge which is to be known, by which the immortal is known, is the higher knowledge. The lower knowledge is the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda, and the Atharvaveda. 3The two knowledges are the higher and the lower. The lower is the Vedas, the higher is that by which the Imperishable is known. 4That which is not seen, but by which the seer is seen; that which is not heard, but by which the hearer is heard; that which is not thought, but by which the thinker is thought; that which is not known, but by which the knower is known. 5As the spider sends forth and draws in its thread, as herbs grow on the earth, as the hair grows on the head and the body of a living man, so does the universe arise from the Imperishable. 6The Self is the sun, the moon, the stars, the fire, the wind, the water, the earth. It is all this. 7He who knows the Self, the Imperishable, becomes the Imperishable. He does not return to the cycle of birth and death.
