(RV 6.9.2)

nāham tantum na vi jānāmy-otum na yam vayanti samare- atamānāĥ ; .. vaktvāni..

I know not the woof, I know not the warp, not what is this web that they weave moving to and fro in the field of this motion and labour. These are secrets that must be told.

In spite of all the laboured knowledge vaunted by the reasoning mind of man, there is much that is still to be known in and about the creation of which he is a part. This universe is not a chance formation, a product of some giant caprice. It is a carefully woven pattern of manifestation, dynamic with movement and purposive effort. All is a working out of a Truth-Idea, on the lines pre-visioned in that Truth-Consciousness, ritam. The secrets of this cosmos, the why, how and where, are still to be unveiled.
