(RV 1.3.12)

maho arņaĥ sarasvatī prachetayati ketunā, dhiyo vishvā vi rājati.

Saraswati by the perception awakens in consciousness the great flood and illumines entering all the thoughts.

Saraswati is the Goddess of Inspiration, the Power of the inspired Word. She represents a special movement in the Truth-Consciousness by which the Truth makes itself heard. Where this impact of Truth-Inspiration takes place, a great surge of Truth-Knowledge rushes into the being of the seeker and all the activities of the thinking mind stand illumined by the Word, the Flood, the Light.
