Chāndogya 7.11.1
तेजो वावाद्भ्यो भूयस्तद्वा एतद्वायुमागृह्याकाशमभितपति तदाहुर्निशोचति नितपति वर्षिष्यति वा इति तेज एव तत्पूर्वं दर्शयित्वाथापः सृजते तदेतदूर्ध्वाभिश्च तिरश्चीभिश्च विद्युद्भिराह्रादाश्चरन्ति तस्मादाहुर्विद्योतते स्तनयति वर्षिष्यति वा इति तेज एव तत्पूर्वं दर्शयित्वाथापः सृजते तेज उपास्स्वेति ॥ ७.११.१ ॥
Fire, heat, radiance, is greater than water. It seizes the wind and heats the sky. People say, 'It is burning, it is heating, it will rain.' First it shows only its fire, and then it produces the waters. Along with lightnings streaming upward and sideways, thunderclaps move; therefore people say, 'It flashes, it thunders, it will rain.' First it shows only its fire, and then it produces the waters. Meditate on fire.
Chāndogya 7.11.2
स यस्तेजो ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते तेजस्वी वै स तेजस्वतो लोकान्भास्वतोऽपहततमस्कानभिसिध्यति यावत्तेजसो गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यस्तेजो ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवस्तेजसो भूय इति तेजसो वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.११.२ ॥
He who meditates on splendour as brahman becomes splendid. He attains radiant worlds, free from darkness. As far as splendour extends, he has freedom of movement at will. (Narada:) "Venerable sir, is there anything greater than splendour?" (Sanatkumara:) "There is something greater than splendour." (Narada:) "Then, venerable one, tell me."
