UDDALAKA'S ADVICE TO SVETAKETU |
|
| Uddalaka then
asked his son to bring a fig fruit. When he did so, Uddalaka asked him to break it. He
broke it. Uddalaka: "What do you see in it?" Svetaketu "I see small seeds." Uddalaka "Break one of the seeds and say what you see." Svetaketu "Nothing Sir." Uddalaka: "You are unable to see the minute particles of the seed after breaking it. Now, the big fig tree is born out of that essence of that particle. Like that, the True Being is the essence of all creation. " Uddalaka asked his son to bring some salt and put it into a cup of water and bring the cup next morning. Svetaketu did so. |
