9th Khanda of Chapter Six, Chandogya UpanishadChandogya Upanishad, one of the oldest Upanishad has been written during the Vedic Brahmana period. Chandogya Upanishad is associated with Sama Veda. Chandogya Upanishad is the part of Chandogya Brahman that contains ten chapters. The 9th Khanda of Chapter Six of Chandogya Upanishad states about the absence of individuality in deep sleep. It explains that the bees, intent upon making honey and collect the juice of different trees from different quarters and reduce them to one uniform fluid. These essences of juices when mixed together cannot be discriminated and identified from where they have been gathered. Similarly, all the creatures, when reach the Pure Being and mingle with the Supreme Brahman cannot be distinguished and indentified. They are born again in the form in which they lived before, whether that be of a tiger, a lion, a wolf, a bear, a worm, an insect, a gnat, or a mosquito. The particle which is the Soul of all or in the subtle senses is the ultimate truth; it is the universal Soul, the real Self.
