“The blind poet of the Rigveda composed one hymn of fifty-two riddles — the year as a twelve-spoked wheel, two birds in one tree, speech with three hidden quarters — and buried in it a single line about one reality under many names that India has spent three thousand years unpacking, expanding, and arguing over.”

“A sacred text can ask questions instead of answering them — and one of his answers, ekaṃ sad viprā bahudhā vadanti, "Truth is one; the wise call it by many names," became the single most quoted line in Indian thought.”
