Universal Order and Truth
were born of blazing spiritual fire,
and thence night was born, and thence
the billowy ocean of space.
From the billowy ocean of space
was born Time--the year
ordaining days and nights,
the ruler of every moment.
In the beginning, as before,
the Creator made the sun,
the moon, the heaven and the earth,
the firmament and the realm of light.
(The Rig Veda)
