Prashna Upanishad 2.6Famous
beginner
अरा इव रथनाभौ प्राणे सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम्। ऋचो यजूंषि सामानि यज्ञः क्षत्रं ब्रह्म च॥
arā iva rathanābhau prāṇe sarvaṃ pratiṣṭhitam | ṛco yajūṃṣi sāmāni yajñaḥ kṣatraṃ brahma ca ||
""Like spokes in the hub of a wheel, everything is established in Prana - the Rig, Yajur, and Sama Vedas, sacrifice, the warrior class, and the priestly class.""
What This Means:
Everything depends on Prana like spokes depend on the hub of a wheel. Even the sacred Vedas and social order rest on Prana.
Going Deeper:
The wheel metaphor beautifully illustrates Prana as the central support of all existence - religious, social, and cosmic.
How To Apply This:
Your breath is the hub around which your entire life revolves. Make it steady, deep, and conscious.
