Shwetashwatara Upanishad
Chapter 4 - Verse 2

तदेवाग्निस्तदादित्यस्तद्वायुस्तदु चन्द्रमाः ।
तदेव शुकं तद् ब्रह्म तदापस्तत्प्रजापतिः ॥२॥

2) God is fire that burneth and the Sun in heaven and the Wind that bloweth: He too is the Moon. His is the seed and Brahma and the waters and He is Prajapati, the Father of his peoples.

दृते टुंह मा मित्रस्य मा चक्षुषा
सर्वाणि भूतानि समीक्षन्ताम्।
मित्रस्याहं चक्षुषा सर्वाणि भूतानि समीक्षे।
मित्रस्य चक्षुषा समीक्षामहे ॥१८॥

Firm thou art, make me firm. For me may they with the eye of Mitra look at all beings. May I with the eye of Mitra look at all beings. May we with the eye of Mitra look at all beings.
