Their line was stretched across. Was there something below? Was there something above? There were seed-bearers, there were great powers—energy below, impulse above.

The seers describe creation as a mystery they can only partly sketch, full of questions. It is okay not to have neat answers; even the wisest begin by honestly asking.

हिंदी में अर्थ

उनकी रेखा आर-पार फैली थी। क्या नीचे कुछ था? क्या ऊपर कुछ था? बीज धारण करने वाले थे, महान शक्तियाँ थीं—नीचे अपनी ऊर्जा, ऊपर आगे बढ़ने का वेग।

ऋषि सृष्टि को एक रहस्य की तरह बताते हैं, सवालों से भरा। हर बात का साफ़ उत्तर न होना ठीक है; सबसे बड़े ज्ञानी भी ईमानदार सवाल से शुरू करते हैं।
