Alone I was at first, (alone) I am and shall be There is none else distinct from Me. And then was declared by him in the words I am Brahman, that the whole universe is his own form. And in the words He entered the more hidden from (or than) the hidden one etc, his entering into the universe is given as a reason for the whole universe being his own form. Thus this universe having no origin, existence or end outside Brahman, is not a quite distinct thing from Brahman. ~ Svetasvatara Upanishad. Part 11
