Chāndogya 7.12.1
आकाशो वाव तेजसो भूयानाकाशे वै सूर्याचन्द्रमसावुभौ विद्युन्नक्षत्राण्यग्निराकाशेनाह्वयत्याकाशेन शृणोत्याकाशेन प्रतिशृणोत्याकाशे रमत आकाशे न रमत आकाशे जायत आकाशमभिजायत आकाशमुपास्स्वेति ॥ ७.१२.१ ॥
Space is greater than splendour. In space are both the sun and the moon, lightning, the stars, and fire. By space one calls, by space one hears, by space one answers; in space one delights, and in space one does not delight; in space one is born, and from space one is produced. Meditate on space.
Chāndogya 7.12.2
स य आकाशं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्त आकाशवतो वै स लोकान्प्रकाशवतोऽसम्बाधानुरुगायवतोऽभिसिध्यति यावदाकाशस्य गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति य आकाशं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगव आकाशाद्भूय इति आकाशाद्वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.१२.२ ॥
He who meditates on space as brahman attains spacious, bright, unobstructed worlds, and worlds of wide renown. As far as space extends, he has freedom of movement at will. (Narada:) "Venerable sir, is there anything greater than space?" (Sanatkumara:) "There is something greater than space." (Narada:) "Then, venerable one, tell me."
