Rigveda
How did the primordial universe begin, and what is the fundamental secret that even the gods do not know?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading these majestic hymns left by the ancient Indians thousands of years ago, I was overwhelmed by the most primordial awe humankind has ever held. Their philosophical questions toward the mysteries of nature and the origin of the cosmos are deeper and more far-reaching than any modern thought. Above all, the passage that asks after the moment of creation, murmuring that even the gods came after it, so who could know the truth, teaches a humility before truth. I strongly recommend this classic to all who would look anew at humanity's place before the vast riddle of the universe.
"There was neither non-existence nor existence then; there was neither the realm of space nor the sky which is beyond. What stirred?"Unknown, Rigveda
