28. God / C. Attitudes to God / 2. Pantheism

8152	Earth, food, fire, sun are all forms of Brahman [Anon (Upan)]
	Full Idea: Earth, food, fire, sun - all these that you worship - are forms of Brahman.
	From: Anon (Upan) (The Upanishads [c.950 BCE], 'Chandogya')
	A reaction: In 'Taittiriya' food is named as the "chief of all things". Pantheism seems to arise from a desire that one's god should have every conceivable good, so in addition to power and knowledge, your god must keep you warm and healthy.
