🌻. Brahma and Saraswathi 🌻

Other beings came forth through Brahma and manifested in the universe - Rudra, the vibrations in space; the Prajapatis, the progenitors of the beings of creation, Lords of power, form and matter; Saraswathi, the divine Word born out of Brahma… 

The Word emerges from the subjectivity of the speaker and travels through sound in space, from the speaker to the listener. When Brahma saw the beauty of Saraswathi, he forgot his duty and run after her. 

It says that the Prajapatis laughed at him when they saw his desire. Marichi, the mind of Brahma, told him that it is not good to have desire for her. 

Brahma realised his mistake and felt shame. He realised that he should use Saraswathi for the welfare of creation, but not for his own selfish desire for her.

This allegory of Brahma creating Saraswathi from within himself and following her to impregnate explains the mystery of how the creation emerges into objectivity, similar to the biblical story of the creation of Eva out of Adam. 

This mystery also points out the power of the Word. We lose ourselves when running after the thoughts and they pour out from us as words and actions. 

We can easily fall if we don’t use the speech correctly, and thus hurt ourselves and others. Let not our thoughts be guiding us; but that we guide always our thoughts. 

We are the master and should direct the thoughts in accordance with our duties. However, it is not a crime to commit mistakes. 

Even the creator made mistakes. What is important is to realise the mistakes, to correct them and to learn the lesson.
