What the texts say

In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Da, Da, Da: Prajapati's Three Teachings tells how the gods, humans and asuras, children of Prajapati, serve their teacher in disciplined study. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 5.2.1 When the gods ask for instruction, he gives one syllable, "da", meaning master yourselves. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 5.2.1 Humans ask next, and they take the same syllable as a call to be generous and give. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 5.2.2 When the asuras ask, described as forces of ego and darkness, the same sound holds restraint, generosity and compassion. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 5.2.3 Even thunder, the text says, proclaims this threefold practice to the world. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 5.2.3
