The Divine is to be recognized as the highest, most harmonizing excellence within every domain—sacred sound (Bṛhatsāman), sacred metre (Gāyatrī), auspicious time (Mārgaśīrṣa), and renewing season (spring). This trains the mind to see unity behind diversity and to ground one’s dharma in reverence and clarity.
