ऊँ, तत् और सत् -- इन तीनों नामोंसे जिस परमात्माका निर्देश किया गया है, उसी परमात्माने सृष्टिके आदिमें वेदों, ब्राह्मणों और यज्ञोंकी रचना की है। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
