The Mukhya Upaniṣads

Īśa · The Whole World in the Light of the Self

Mantra 4

अनेजदेकं मनसो जवीयो नैनद्देवा आप्नुवन्पूर्वमर्षत् ।तद्धावतोऽन्यानत्येति तिष्ठत्तस्मिन्नपो मातरिश्वा दधाति ॥ ४ ॥

In plain words

The One, unmoving, is swifter than the mind. The senses did not overtake It, for It had gone before them. Standing still, It outstrips all who run; in It Mātariśvan orders the cosmic activities.
