By whom does the mind think? The gods claim a victory as theirs, then cannot burn or move one blade of grass before a Spirit they do not know.
Dialogues in this Upanishad
By Whom? — By whom is the mind sent to its objects? The ear of the ear, the mind of the mind — that which speech cannot express, but by which speech speaks.
The Spirit Before the Gods — The gods claim a victory as their own. A wondrous Spirit sets a blade of grass before them: fire cannot burn it, wind cannot move it.
