Chandogya Upanishad 6.10
beginner
तदापो ऐक्षन्त बह्व्यः स्याम प्रजायेमहीति ताऽन्नमसृजन्त। तस्माद्यत्र क्व च वर्षति तदेव भूयिष्ठमन्नं भवति। अद्भ्य एव तदन्नाद्यं जायते॥
tadāpo aikṣanta bahvyaḥ syāma prajāyemahīti tā\'nnamasṛjanta | tasmādyatra kva ca varṣati tadeva bhūyiṣṭhamannaṃ bhavati | adbhya eva tadannādyaṃ jāyate ||
""The waters thought: 'May we become many, may we be born.' They created food. Therefore, wherever it rains, there food is most abundant. Food is produced from water alone.""
What This Means:
Water created food. That's why rain brings abundance of food. The elements unfold in sequence.
Going Deeper:
The three elements (trivritkarana): fire, water, food (earth). These form the basis of all material creation.
How To Apply This:
See the connection between elements. Water nourishes food. Honor these fundamental relationships.
