Of all the Vedic literature, the Upanishads are known for their in-depth exploration of concepts that are at the spiritual core of Hinduism. Included in the discussions are concepts like Atman, generally defined as the Higher Self or the soul, and Brahman, the Supreme Lord who represents Absolute Truth. Mundaka Upanishad Second Mundaka: First Khanda “That Heavenly Person is without body, He is both without and within, not produced, without breath and without mind, pure, higher than the high Imperishable.” “From Him comes Agni (fire), the Sun being the fuel; from the Moon (Soma) comes rain (Parganya); from the Earth herbs. […]” “Hence come the seas and all the mountains, from Him flow the rivers of every kind; hence come all herbs and the juice through which the inner Self subsists with the elements.”Second Mundaka: Second Khanda “That which is brilliant, smaller than small, that on which the worlds are founded and their inhabitants, that is the indestructible Brahman, that is the breath, speech, mind; that is the true, that is the immortal. That is to be hit. Hit it, O friend!” “In the highest golden sheath there is the Brahman without passions and without parts. That is pure, that is the light of lights, that is it which they know who know the Self. The Sun does not shine there, nor the Moon and the stars, nor these lightnings, and much less this fire. When He shines, everything shines after Him; by His light all this is lighted.”
