Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 3.2
intermediate
कस्मिन्नु खलु वायुरोतश्च प्रोतश्चेति। अन्तरिक्षलोकेषु गार्गीति। कस्मिन्नु खल्वन्तरिक्षलोका ओताश्च प्रोताश्चेति। गन्धर्वलोकेषु गार्गीति॥
kasminnu khalu vāyurotaśca protaśceti | antarikṣalokeṣu gārgīti | kasminnu khalvantarikṣalokā otāśca protāśceti | gandharvalokеṣu gārgīti ||
""On what is air woven?" "On the mid-space worlds." "On what are the mid-space worlds woven?" "On the gandharva-worlds.""
What This Means:
Air is woven on mid-space; mid-space on gandharva-worlds. The questioning continues upward.
Going Deeper:
The progression moves through cosmic realms, each dependent on a higher cause.
How To Apply This:
See how each level depends on a higher. What is the highest on which all depends?
