Chandogya Upanishad is one of the oldest Upanishads written on the Vedic Brahmana period about ninth to eighth century BC. Chandogya Upanishad is associated with Sama Veda. It is the part of Chandogya Brahaman that contains ten chapters. The 6th Khanda of Chapter Six of Chandogya Upanishad states about the physical nature of the mind, the prana and speech. According to it when the curd is churned, its fine particles which rise upwards, becomes butter. In the same manner, when food is consumed, the fine particles, which rise upwards, form the mind. Again, when water is drunk, the fine particles which ascend upwards form the prana. When heat is consumed, the fine particles which rise upwards form speech. Thus, the mind consists of food, the prana consists of water and speech consists of fire.
