Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7,[21] in the dialogue between Uddalaka and his son Śvetaketu. It appears at the end of a section, and is repeated at the end of the subsequent sections as a refrain.

In the beginning, son, this world was simply what is existent - one only, without a second. And it thought to itself: "let me become many. Let me propagate myself." It cannot be without a root .Look to the existent as the root. The existent, my son, is the root of all these creatures - the existent is their restingplace, the existent is their foundation.The finest essence here - that consitutes the self of this whole world; that is the truth; that is the self (ātman). And that's how you are, Śvetaketu.
