Nāsadīya Sūkta: Absolute Reality
The Nāsadīya Sūkta, a hymn from the Rigveda (10.129), contemplates the origin of the universe and the nature of the primordial state.
Reality Concepts: Sat and Asat
- Sat: Refers to existence or being.
- Asat: Refers to non-existence or non-being.
Sūkta's Teaching on Primordial State
The Sūkta explicitly states that before creation, there was neither existence (sat) nor non-existence (asat).
The text suggests that the ultimate reality, the source of all, transcends these fundamental dualistic categories.
Conclusion on Absolute Reality
Therefore, the Nāsadīya Sūkta describes the absolute reality as neither sat nor asat.
