Chandogya Upanishad 6.9
intermediate
तदैक्षत बहु स्यां प्रजायेयेति तत्तेजोऽसृजत तत्तेज ऐक्षत बहु स्यां प्रजायेयेति तदपोऽसृजत॥
tadaikṣata bahu syāṃ prajāyeyeti tattejo\'sṛjata tatteja aikṣata bahu syāṃ prajāyeyeti tadapo\'sṛjata ||
""That Being thought: 'May I become many, may I be born.' It created fire. That fire thought: 'May I become many, may I be born.' It created water.""
What This Means:
Being desired to become many and created fire. Fire then created water. Creation unfolds through divine intention.
Going Deeper:
The creative process: Sat → thought (iksata) → fire (tejas) → water (ap). Consciousness precedes and drives creation.
How To Apply This:
Creation begins with intention. What you deeply intend, you become. This is the divine pattern.
