UDDALAKA'S ADVICE TO SVETAKETU |
|
| Svetaketu said,
"Sir, my venerable gurus did not perhaps know it. Had they known, why would they have not taught it to me? Please teach it to me." ‘ Uddalaka said, "All right. I shall teach you;- listen. In the beginning of creation, O child, the Sat or True Being alone existed. It had neither equal nor second. It thought, ‘Let me multiply myself and create beings.’ He first created Tejas or fire god. The fire god wanted to multiply himself. He created the water god. That is why whenever anybody weeps or perspires, water comes out. The water god wanted to multiply himself and created the food god. Then the True Being thought, ‘I have now created these three gods. Now I shall enter them as Jivatma and assume name and form!’ |
