Chandogya, Upanishads

  • Chandogya: Chapter 8.4.1: "There is a bridge between time and Eternity; and this bridge is Atman, the Spirit..."

The Chandogya Upanishad is one of the “primary” (mukhya) Upanishads. Together with the Jaiminiya Upanishad Brahmana and the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad it ranks among the oldest Upanishads, still dating to the Brahmana period of Vedic Sanskrit (before sixth century BCE). It is associated with the Kauthuma Shakha of the Samaveda. It figures as number 9 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads.
