NOT FROM NOTHING

From the Chandogya Upanishad:

When Svetaketu, at his father's bidding, had brought a ripe fruit from the banyan tree, his father said to him, "Split the fruit in two, dear son."
"Here you are.  I have split it in two."
"What do you find there?"
"Innumerable tiny seeds."
"Then take one of the seeds and split it."
"I have split the seed."
"And what do you find there?"
"Why, nothing, nothing at all."
"Ah, dear son, but this great tree cannot possibly come from nothing.  Even if you cannot see with your eyes that subtle something in the seed which produces this mighty form, it is present nonetheless.  That is the power, that is the spirit unseen, which pervades everywhere and is all things.  Have faith!  That is the spirit which lies at the root of all existence, and that also art thou, O Svetaketu."
