Mundaka Upanishad 3.3
beginner
एतस्माज्जायते प्राणो मनः सर्वेन्द्रियाणि च। खं वायुर्ज्योतिरापः पृथिवी विश्वस्य धारिणी॥
etasmājjāyate prāṇo manaḥ sarvendriyāṇi ca | khaṃ vāyurjyotirāpaḥ pṛthivī viśvasya dhāriṇī ||
"From Him arise life-breath, mind, and all the senses; space, air, fire, water, and earth - the supporter of all."
What This Means:
From Brahman emerge: prana (life-force), mind, senses, and the five elements - space, air, fire, water, earth.
Going Deeper:
This is the order of creation: from subtle (prana, mind) to gross (elements). The earth "supports all" as the final manifestation.
How To Apply This:
Everything you experience - breath, mind, senses, elements - has one source. Know that source.
