THE VEDANTIC POSTULATE

"Here is one, Sir," said Svetaketu.

"Break it and tell me what you see therein."

"I see some tiny seeds," said Svetaketu.

"Crush one of the tiny seeds," said the father.

"Yes, I have done it, Sir. "
                                                                                 "What do you see therein?"          

"Nothing," said Svetaketu.

"Yet in that subtle substance which was inside that little seed and which is hardly visible to the eye existed the power that produced all this big-branching nyagrodha tree. Do you wonder at it"? Likewise all that exists in this universe was potentially in the Sat, dear boy, and thou art that. Believe it."
