1.6.1

ṛtur asmi /

6. ‘I am a season. I am connected with the seasons. From space as a womb I am produced as the semen for a wife, as the brilliance of the year, as the soul (_ātman_) of every single being. You are the soul of every single being. What you are, this am I.’

To him he says: ‘Who am I?’ He should say: ‘The Real.’ ‘What is that, namely the Real (_satyam_)?’ ‘Whatever is other than the sense-organs (_deva_) and the vital breaths (_prāṇa_)—that is the actual (_sat_). But as for the sense-organs and the vital breaths—that is the yon (_tyam_). This is expressed by this word “_satyam_” (‘the Real’). It is as extensive as this world-all. You are this world-all.’
