He who meditates on food as Brahman obtains the world rich in food and drink; he can, of his own free will, reach as far as food reaches-he who meditates on food as Brahman. Narada said: Venerable Sir, is there anything greater than food? Of course there is something greater than food. Please tell that to me, venerable Sir.
~~ Chandogya Upanishad VII, IX - Food as Brahman, 2
Water is, verily, greater than food. Therefore if there is not sufficient rain, then living creatures are afflicted with the thought that there will be less food. But if there is sufficient rain, then living creatures rejoice in the thought that there will be much food. It is water that assumes the form of this earth, this mid-region, this heaven, these mountains, these gods and men, cattle and birds, herbs and trees and animals, together with worms, flies and ants. Water indeed is all these forms. Meditate on water.
~~ Chandogya Upanishad VII, X - Water as Brahman, 1
He who meditates on water as Brahman obtains all his desires and becomes satisfied; he can, of his own free will, reach as far as water reaches-he who meditates on water as Brahman. Narada said: Venerable Sir, is there anything greater than water?Of course there is something greater than water. Please tell that to me, venerable Sir.
