The deathless Self meditated upon Himself and projected the universe as evolutionary energy. From this energy developed life, mind, the elements, and the world of karma, which is enchained by cause and effect. The deathless Self sees all, knows all.
Mundaka Upanishad

The Deathless Self
Topic: Ultimate Reality, God, Heavenly Parent
“The deathless Self meditated upon
Himself and projected the universe
As evolutionary energy.
From this energy developed life, mind,
The elements, and the world of karma,
Which is enchained by cause and effect.
The deathless Self sees all, knows all. From Him
Springs Brahma, who embodies the process
Of evolution into name and form
By which the One appears to be many.”
Mundaka Upanishad
