        (19) "'Without hands, without feet, He moveth, He graspeth:
        Eyeless He seeth, (and) earless He heareth: He knoweth what
        is to be known, yet is there no knower of Him, Him call the first,
        mighty the man. (20) 'Smaller than small, yet greater than great
        in the heart of this creature the self doth repose . . . '"

                                             - Shvetashvatara Upanishad
