00:00Four mind-born sages reached the gate of heaven and refused to leave.
00:05Imagine, standing before the highest God, with a question no universe would answer.
00:10The Bhagavata Purana records the day the sages cornered the creator.
00:15Brahma, creator of the worlds, tried to answer and failed.
00:20Vishnu, keeper of the worlds, knew human words would only trap the truth.
00:24Why did the God refuse human speech? Because the absolute cannot be spoken.
00:30So he descended into the courtyard as a magnificent white swan.
00:34Think about the strangeness of the supreme God appearing as a bird.
00:39The great sage is watched as the bird hopped closer to the throne.
00:43Tell us, ask the eldest sage, who are you beneath the feathers?
00:48The swan opened its beak and spoke not in birdsong, but in pure scripture.
00:53I am neither body nor mind, the swan declared, but the pure self within.
00:59The sages fell silent as the boundaries of their own wisdom dissolved.
01:03And to this day, spiritual seekers revere the hamsa as the symbol of ultimate discrimination.
01:09The highest truth is never found in arguments, but in silence.
