### [5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.5.9)

agnir yathaiko bhuvanaṃ praviṣṭo rūpaṃ rūpaṃ pratirūpo babhūva /  
ekas tathā sarvabhūtāntarātmā rūpaṃ rūpaṃ pratirūpo bahiś ca //

> 9. As the one fire has entered the world  
> And becomes corresponding in form to every form,  
> So the one Inner Soul (Ātman) of all things  
> Is corresponding in form to every form, and yet is outside.  
> 10. As the one wind has entered the world  
> And becomes corresponding in form to every form,  
> So the one Inner Soul of all things  
> Is corresponding in form to every form, and yet is outside.  
> 11. As the sun, the eye of the whole world,  
> Is not sullied by the external faults of the eyes,  
> So the one Inner Soul of all things  
> Is not sullied by the evil in the world, being external to it.  
> — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
