Educational Q&A
True knowledge of the divine is expressed as humble recognition and reverence: the speaker acknowledges a cosmic principle (Viśvakarman) as supreme and all-pervading, and frames knowing as reciprocal—one is known by the higher reality even as one seeks to know it.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a moment of salutation and identification: the addressed figure, Viśvakarman, is praised as the universal Self and the best of all beings, and the speaker declares that he recognizes Viśvakarman in a manner aligned with how Viśvakarman already knows him.
