Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Then the bull said, " The East is a part of the Lord, so is the West, so is the South, so is the North. The four cardinal points are the four parts of Brahman. Fire will also teach you something of Brahman. " Fire was a great symbol in those days, and every student had to procure fire and make offerings. So on the following day, Satyakama started for his Guru's house, and when in the evening he had performed his oblation, and worshipped at the fire, and was sitting near it, he heard a voice come from the fire, " O Satyakama. " " Speak, Lord, " said Satyakama. (Perhaps you may remember a very similar story in the Old Testament, how Samuel heard a mysterious voice.) " O Satyakama, I am come to teach you a little of Brahman This earth is a portion of that Brahman. The sky and the heaven are portions of It. The ocean is a part of that Brahman.
