Taittiriya Upanisad
Chapter One
3. 'no others. Those Brahmanas who are better than us, you must make comfortable with a seat. You should give with faith; you should not give without faith; you should give with largesse; you should give with modesty; you should give with fear; you should give with fellow-feeling. If there should be doubt about actions, or doubt about behaviour,
4. 'you should behave in those circumstances as Brahmanas would behave who were judicious, restrained, dedicated, not stern, lovers of dharma. And towards folk who are spoken against, you should behave as Brahmanas would behave who were judicious, restrained, dedicated, not stern, lovers of dharma.
'This is the symbolic statement; this is the teaching; this is the inner meaning of the Veda; this is the instruction. You should contemplate (upas-) it in this way; you must contemplate it in this way.'
I.12
1. OM. May Mitra be kind, may Varuna be kind,
May Aryaman be kind to us.
May Indra and Brhaspati be kind,
May wide-striding Visnu be kind to us.
Homage to brahman, homage to you, Vayu:
You are brahman manifest:
I have spoken of you as brahman manifest.
I have spoken law: I have spoken truth.
That has protected me: that has protected the speaker.
It has protected me: it has protected the speaker.
OM. Peace, peace, peace.
OM. May Mitra be kind, may Varuna be kind,
May Aryaman be kind to us.
May Indra and Brhaspati be kind,
May wide-striding Visnu be kind to us.
Homage to brahman, homage to you, Vayu:
You are brahman manifest:
I will speak of you as brahman manifest.
I will speak law: I will speak truth.
May that protect me: may that protect the speaker.
May it protect me: may it protect the speaker.
OM. Peace, peace, peace.
