A Father requested of his son:
"Bring me a fruit of that large tree."
"Here it is, Sir."
"Break it."
"It is broken, Sir,"
"What do you see there?"
"These seeds, which are very small."
"Break one of them."
"It is broken, Sir."
"What do you see there?"
"Not anything, Sir"
The father said: "That subtle essence which you do not perceive, is the very essence of this great tree. Believe it. That which is the subtle essence, to that all that exists owes its existence. It is the True. It is the Self, and you are it."
-From the Chandogya Upanishad
