Keśava-tattva-kathana
On the Principle of Keśava: Cosmogony and Divine Epithets
उष्यतां मयि चेत्युक्त्वा चेतयत् सततं पुनः । अथाय्यं प्रविवेशास्य ब्राह्मणो विगतज्वर:
uṣyatāṃ mayi cety uktvā cetayat satataṃ punaḥ | athājñāṃ praviveśāsya brāhmaṇo vigatajvaraḥ ||
“Tinggallah di dalam diriku dengan tenteram,” demikian sabda Brahmā, lalu berulang kali Ia membangunkannya pada pengetahuan hakiki. Setelah menerima titah itu, sang brahmana—bebas dari demam dan duka—masuk ke dalam mulut Brahmā yang laksana teratai.

Educational Q&A
True knowledge (tattva-jñāna) dispels inner affliction (“fever” as a metaphor for sorrow and bondage). When ignorance is removed and the teacher grants permission, the seeker attains release, depicted as merging back into the divine source.
Brahmā tells the Brahmin to reside within him, repeatedly awakens him to higher understanding, and then—after granting permission—receives him back. The Brahmin, now free from suffering, enters Brahmā, indicating completion of the spiritual journey and dissolution of individuality.
