కెన ఉపనిషద్

In a war between gods and demons, the Brahman won victory for the gods.

The gods, however, praised themselves for the victory, saying, "Of us is this victory, of us is this might and glory".

The Brahman noticed this. It revealed itself before the gods, who did not recognize and know it. The gods said, "what is this wonderful being?" They delegated god Agni (fire) to go discover who this wonderful being is.

Agni rushed to Brahman. The Brahman asked, "who are you?". Agni replied, "I am Agni, knower of beings". Brahman asked, "if so, what is the source of your power". Agni replied, "I am able to burn whatever is on earth." The Brahman then laid a piece of grass before Agni, and said, "Burn this, then." Agni rushed to the grass and tried his best to burn it. He failed. He turned back and returned to the gods. Agni told the gods, "I am unable to discover what this wonderful being is". The gods then nominated god Vayu (air) to go, and "explore, O Vayu, what this wonderful being is".

Vayu rushed to Brahman. The Brahman asked, "who are you?". Vayu replied, "I am Vayu, I am Matarisvan (what fills the aerial space around mother earth, mover in space)". Brahman asked, "if so, what is the source of your power". Vayu replied, "I am able to carry or pull whatever is on earth." The Brahman then laid a piece of grass before Vayu, and said, "Carry this, then." Vayu rushed to the grass and tried his best to lift and carry it away. He failed. He turned back and returned to the gods. Vayu told his fellow gods, "I am unable to discover what this wonderful being is". The gods then turned to god Indra (lightning, god of might) to go, and "explore, O mighty one, what this wonderful being is". "So be it", said Indra.

Indra went to Brahman. There, in the place of Brahman, he found a beautiful woman with knowledge. Her name was Umã. Indra asked Uma, "what is this wonderful being?"

Goddess Uma replied, "that is the Brahman; that is the one who obtained victory, though gods praise themselves for it". Indra then knew.

The tradition holds that Agni, Vayu and Indra are elevated above all other gods, respected first in ceremonies and rituals, because these three "met" and "experienced" the Brahman first. Indra is most celebrated because he "knew" Brahman first, among all gods.

గత ఐదు వేల సంవత్సరాలలో,  ఎవరైనా సంకుచితులు వేదాలలో, ఏదైనా అనవసర సమాచారాన్ని చేర్చితే, దానిని తోలిగించవలసిన అవసరము ఉంది. మనుష్యులు అందరు ఒక్కటి అన్న సిద్ధాంతము ప్రముఖము గా ఉండాలి.  ఈవిల్ ప్రవృత్తి ఉన్న మనుషులకు తగిన దండన, చట్ట ప్రకారము అభిలషణీయము. కాని మనుష్యులు అందరు ఒక్కటి అన్న సిద్ధాంతము ఉండాలి. ఇక హిందువులను జాతులు గా, కులాలుగా విభజించడము ఆపాలి.

ఇదేదో idealistic ఉధ్బోధ లాగా ఉంటుంది కాని. మనిషికి మనిషికి మధ్యన తక్కువ ఎక్కువ అడ్డుగోడలు కట్టకండి. మనిషి ప్రవృత్తి ధర్మాను సారము ఉండకపోతే, సంస్కరణ చేయాలి. అంతే.
