Truth of Dawn - The Beginning


Usha: Usha is described repeatedly as the Mother of the Cows. She is the companion of Indra. There are multiple incarnations of Indra and Usha, after The Dawn, sons and daughters of Saraswati. A companionship comes in many forms, between a male and female, whether mother, wife or daughter to a male; a father, husband or son to a female. Collective Consciousness: The Truth comes with collective consciousness, where the masses believe in One Truth. Compare this with divided consciousness, which is fragmented and argumentative. The undivided consciousness is The dawn of the Truth. The Dawn follows the path of the sacrifice, and follows the path of water. The Sun follows the path of Usha. Duritam means literally stumbling or wrong going, figuratively all that is wrong and evil, all sin, error, calamity; Suvitam means literally right or good going and expresses all that is good and happy, it means especially the felicity that comes by following the right path. "Following effectively the path of the truth... She moves according to the path of the truth and as that one that knows, she limits not the regions... Of a luminous movement, vast with the truth, supreme in possession of the truth, bringing with her Swar, a voice, a vision... Dawn born in Heaven opens out things by the truth, she comes manifesting the greatness... Dawn true in Her being with the gods who are true, vast with the gods who are vast... Encompassing the worlds immediately with horses yoked by the truth... Happy, and true because born from the truth... The goddess who awake from the seat of the truth... Thou who bears to the giver the beatitude as a manifold and desirable ecstasy... Pleasant and true speech... Happy truths... Dawn with thy shining herds, with thy steeds, widely luminous, full of happy truths... Dawn with their swiftness, their radiances, rightly knowing all things... The goddess... fronts and looks upon all the worlds, the eye of vision shines with an utter wideness; awakening all life for movement she discovers speech for all that thinks... Now perceptive vision has broken out into its wide dawn where nought was before... Dawn comes divine repelling by the Light all darkness and evils... Wealth: The wealth of Dawn, for which the Rishis pray is described under the figure of material riches; it is the cow, the horse, the offspring, the man or hero, gold or prana, the chariot, food or fame. According to the ritual interpretation, these are the constituents of the wealth desired by the Vedic sages. However, there is even a bigger wealth beyond that, which is the work for humanity, with no motivation. This is the spreading of the Word, whose vibration itself awakens the human soul, bring them out of suffering. Bring people closer to the infinite. This is the heart of the vedic knowledge. Hymn: Devanam caksuh subhaga vahanti, svetam nayanti sudrsikam asvam; Usa adarsi rasmibhir vyakta, citramagha visvam anu prabhuta. Happy, bringing the gods eye of vision, leading the white Horse that has perfect sight, Dawn is seen expressed entirely by the rays, full of her varied riches, manifesting her birth in all things.
