Context:
1. They speak of an eternal Asvattha rooted above and branching below whose leaves are the Vedas; he who knows it, is a Veda-knower.
2. Below and above spread its branches, nourished by the Gunas; sense-objects are its buds; and below in the human world stretch forth the roots, originating action.
3-4. Its form is not here perceived as such, neither its end, nor its origin, nor its existence. Having cut asunder this firm-rooted Asvattha with the strong axe of non-attachment,then that Goal is to be sought for, going whither they (the wise) do not return again. I seek refuge in that Primeval Puruşa whence streamed forth the Eternal Activity.
~Shrimad Bhagwad Gita (Chapter-15, Verse-1,2,3,4)
