From the Rig Veda:
"There was
not then what is, nor what is not. There was no sky,
and no heaven beyond the sky. What power was there?
Where? Who was that power? Was there an abyss of
fathomless waters?
There was neither death nor immortality then. No
signs were there of night and day. The ONE was
breathing by its own power, in deep peace. Only the
ONE was: there was nothing beyond.
Darkness was hidden in darkness. the all was fluid
and formless. therein, in the void, by the fire of
fervour arose the ONE.
And in the ONE arose love. Love the first seed of
soul. The truth of this the sages found in their
hearts: seeking in their hearts with wisdom, the
sages found that bond of union between being and not
being.
Who knows in truth? Who can tell us whence and how
arose this universe? The gods are later than its
beginning: who knows therefore whence comes this
creation?
Only that god who sees in highest heaven: he only
knows whence comes this universe, and whether it was
made or uncreated. He only knows, or perhaps he
knows not."
