Prashna Upanishad 2.1
beginner
अथ हैनं भार्गवो वैदर्भिः पप्रच्छ। भगवन्कत्येव देवाः प्रजां विधारयन्ते कतर एतत्प्रकाशयन्ते कः पुनरेषां वरिष्ठ इति॥
atha hainaṃ bhārgavo vaidarbhiḥ papraccha | bhagavankatyeva devāḥ prajāṃ vidhārayante katara etatprakāśayante kaḥ punareṣāṃ variṣṭha iti ||
"Then Bhargava Vaidarbhi asked: "Lord, how many gods support the creature? Which of them illumine this body? And which is the greatest among them?""
What This Means:
The second question: How many divine powers (senses, faculties) support the body? Which one is most important?
Going Deeper:
This question investigates the hierarchy among the bodily functions and reveals the supreme importance of Prana.
How To Apply This:
Ask: What truly keeps you alive? Beyond food, beyond senses - what is essential?
