In the beginning, verily, this [world] was non-existent.
Therefrom, verily, Being (*sat*) was produced.
That made itself (*svayam akuruta*) a Soul (Ātman).
Therefore it is called the well-done (*su-kṛta*).

Verily, what that well-done is—that, verily, is the essence (*rasa*) [of existence]. For truly, on getting the essence, one becomes blissful. For who indeed would breathe, who would live, if there were not this bliss in space! For truly, this (essence) causes bliss. For truly, when one finds fearlessness as a foundation in that which is invisible, bodiless (*an-ātmya*), undefined, non-based, then he has reached fearlessness. When, however, one makes a cavity, an interval therein, then he comes to have fear. But that indeed is the fear of one who thinks of himself as a knower.
