Chapter 10 • Verse 22 →The Yoga of Divine Glories
Vedanam sama-vedo 'smi devanam asmi vasavah, indriyanam manash casmi bhutanam asmi cetana

Among the Vedas I am the Sama Veda; among the gods I am Vasava (Indra); among the senses I am the mind; among living beings I am consciousness. The Lord is the essence and most elevating principle in every domain — particularly notable is His identification as consciousness, the innermost essence of all life.

  • •Consciousness is the primary divine vibhuti within all living beings
  • •The mind is the most powerful and influential of all senses
  • •The Sama Veda, being sung, represents the most devotional of the four Vedas

Chapter 10 • Verse 35 →The Yoga of Divine Glories
Brihat-sama tatha samnam gayatri chandasam aham, masanam marga-shirso 'ham ritu-nam kusumakara

Among the hymns of the Sama Veda I am the Brihat-sama; among poetic metres I am the Gayatri; among months I am Margashirsha (November-December); and among seasons I am spring (Kusumakara). The Gayatri mantra is the most sacred of all Vedic metres, and spring, the season of flowering, represents life, renewal, and abundance.

  • •The Gayatri mantra is the most exalted of all sacred metres and prayers
  • •Spring embodies divine creativity, renewal, and the blossoming of life
  • •Recognising divinity in the rhythms of nature deepens spiritual awareness
