third quarter @ Brahmi


Gods sought Brahma's guidance, for their salvation. 

He uttered the syllable - Da.

Dewas recognized their shortcomings - and understood the cryptic, as Damyata.

Humans sought guidance from their Creator, for salvation.

And he uttered the same cryptic - Da

It was understood as Datta - to give, to let go.

Demons too sought Brahma's counsel, for salvation. Same cryptic was uttered.

Demons understood it, as Daya -  mercy, compassion.

This narrative features in the Great Jungle Upanishad.

- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
