In the beginning..-Rig Veda (10.129.1)

The non-existent was not then,
Nor was the existent,
The earth was not, nor the firmament,
Nor that which is beyond,
(When there was nothing then), what could cover what,
And where and in whose care did the waters and bottomless deep then exist?
-Rig Veda (10.129.1)

Time and Space...Atharva Veda (19.53.3)

The whole of this Universe is stationed in the Omnipresent,
and the Omnipotent God.
We see Him in various forms,
He brings to light all these worlds.
Him they call the Kala (Time), Infinite, Pervading the Infinite Space.
-Atharva Veda (19.53.3)

In the beginning.. Rig Veda (10.21.1)

In the beginning there was neither nought nor aught.
Then there was neither sky nor atmosphere above,
What then enshrouded all this universe ?
In the receptacle of what was it contained ?
Then was there neither death nor immortality,
Then was neither day nor night, nor light, nor darkness,
Only the Existent one breathed calmly self contained.
-Rig (10.21.1)

Eesh Upnishad, Yajur Veda (22.5)

This moves, This moves not.
This is far, and this is near.
This is inside and this is outside of everything.
- Eesh Upnishad, Yajur Veda (22.5)

Mantras From Mahabharat (Bhagvad Gita Section)

This never takes birth and this never dies. This is never created. It is oldest and
never born. This doesn't die even if the body dies.

Just as a person changes clothes, this leaves weak bodies and goes into a new
one.

This cannot be cut by weapons. This cannot be burnt by fire. This cannot be
wetted by water and this cannot be evaporated by air.
