Mundaka Upanishad 3.7
beginner
तस्माच्च देवा बहुधा संप्रसूताः साध्या मनुष्याः पशवो वयांसि। प्राणापानौ व्रीहियवौ तपश्च श्रद्धा सत्यं ब्रह्मचर्यं विधिश्च॥
tasmācca devā bahudhā saṃprasūtāḥ sādhyā manuṣyāḥ paśavo vayāṃsi | prāṇāpānau vrīhiyavau tapaśca śraddhā satyaṃ brahmacaryaṃ vidhiśca ||
"From Him come the many gods, celestial beings, humans, animals, birds; inhalation and exhalation; rice and barley; tapas, faith, truth, continence, and the law."
What This Means:
From Purusha come all beings (gods, humans, animals, birds), the vital breaths, grains, and spiritual qualities like faith, truth, and self-control.
Going Deeper:
Not just material beings but spiritual virtues themselves come from Brahman. Tapas, shraddha, satya, brahmacharya - all divine gifts.
How To Apply This:
Your capacity for truth, faith, and self-discipline is divine in origin. Honor these gifts.
