Uncreated

(Quotations from The Upanishads)

The supreme Self is neither born nor dies. He cannot be burned, moved, pierced, cut, nor dried. Beyond all attributes, the supreme Self is the eternal witness, ever pure, indivisible, and uncompounded, far beyond the senses and the ego... He is omnipresent, beyond all thought, without action in the external world, without action in the internal world. Detached from the outer and the inner, This supreme Self purifies the impure.
(Atma Up. 3, p. 242)

Though all the galaxies emerge from him, He is without form and unconditioned.
(Tejabindu Up. 6, p. 239)
