Vedanam sama-vedo 'smi devanam asmi vasavah, indriyanam manash casmi bhutanam asmi cetana

Among the Vedas I am the Sama Veda; among the gods I am Vasava (Indra); among the senses I am the mind; among living beings I am consciousness. The Lord is the essence and most elevating principle in every domain — particularly notable is His identification as consciousness, the innermost essence of all life.

  • Consciousness is the primary divine vibhuti within all living beings
  • The mind is the most powerful and influential of all senses
  • The Sama Veda, being sung, represents the most devotional of the four Vedas
