  What is the cause of the cosmos? Is it Brahman? From where do we come? By what live? Where shall we find peace at last? What power governs the duality Of pleasure and pain by which we are driven? Time, nature, necessity, accident, Elements, energy, intelligence-- None of these can be the First Cause. They are effects, whose only purpose is To help the self rise above pleasure and pain. -Shvetashvatara Upanishad and another: friendship is not seen in a friendly face, but found deep in a friendly heart.
