Product Description
"Prajapati, the Creator, had three kinds of offspring: gods, men, and demons. They lived with Prajapati as brahmacharins (celibate students) practicing austerities. At the end of their term, the gods requested him saying: ""Please instruct us, Sir."" Prajapati uttered the syllable Da and he asked: ""Have you understood?"" The gods replied: ""Yes. You have said to us, control yourselves (Damyata)."" Prajapati responded: ""Yes, you have understood.""
Then men spoke to him: ""Please instruct us, Sir."" Prajapati uttered the syllable Da and he asked: ""Have you understood?"" The men replied: ""We have. You have said give (Datta)."" Prajapati responded: ""Yes, you have understood.""
Then the demons spoke to him: ""Please instruct us, Sir."" Prajapati uttered the syllable Da and he asked: ""Have you understood?"" The demons replied: ""Yes. You have said to us, be compassionate (Dayadhvam)."" Prajapati responded: ""Yes, you have understood.""
That very thing is repeated by the celestial voice in the form the thunder that speaks to us: ""Da, Da, Da"" which means, ""control yourselves,"" ""give,"" ""be merciful.""

In other words, writes Kara, the instruction to comprehending the ultimate mystery begins from an ethical injunction. He who is self-controlled, charitable, and merciful is given proximity to the gods. Ethics takes precedence over epistemology and ontology."
