Quotes About Brahma

According to the Gita, the deeds that are done solely for the sake of self fetter our soul; the disinterested action, performed for the sake of the giving up of self, is the true sacrifice. For creation itself comes of the self-sacrifice of Brahma, which has no other purpose; and therefore, in our performance of the duty which is self-sacrificing, we realize the spirit of Brahma.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
Brahma emerged from the right side of Mahesa, Vishnu from the left and Nilarudra from his heart. In the beginning, intoning AUM, Sadasiva created the universe. Siva is Pranava and Pranava is Siva.
~ Ramesh Menon
Brahma is the great Creator, Life a mystic drama; Heaven, and Earth, and living Nature Are but masks of Brahma.
~ John Stuart Blackie
Always remember that renunciation is the root idea. Unless one is initiated into this idea, not even Brahma and the World - gods have the power to attain Mukti
~ Swami Vivekananda
In a non-local implicate order, information cannot have a locality, but permeates and/or transcends all localities. And information that has no locality sounds a great deal like the Hindu divinity Brahma, the Chinese concept of Tao, Aldous Huxley's Mind At Large, and the Buddha-Mind of Mahayana Buddhism. Any one of those concepts must mean information without location (if we admit they mean anything at all).
~ Robert Anton Wilson
The Buddha-Mind is not 'God'," Buddhists continually explain, and Occidentals blink, unable to understand a religion without God. But Brahma, in Vedic Hinduism, does not have any of the personality, locality, temperament (or gender) of Western gods and, like Buddha-Mind, seems to mean a kind of non-local implicate order, or information without location, if it means anything.
~ Robert Anton Wilson
Every human creates his own imagined version of the world, and of himself. Every human is therefore Brahma, creator of his own aham. Aham Brahmasmi, I am Brahma. Tat tvam asi, so are you. We knot our imagination with fear to create aham. Tapasya and yagna are two tools that can help us unknot the mind, outgrow fear and discover atma, our true self.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
Brahma splits Brahmanda into three parts: me, mine and what is not mine. This is Tripura, the three worlds.

God creates the world as Brahma, sustains it as Vishnu and destroys it as Shiva.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
Brahma is the human mind that misbehaves. Shiva is the human mind that vehemently rejects this misbehaviour. Vishnu is the human mind that does not condone this misbehaviour, yet understands it. What is this misbehaviour?
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
And then it begins The search For the fifth head of Brahma His first have us words His second gave us Grammar His third gave us meter His fourth gave us Melody The last one is missing The fifth The head with meaning
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
The words asura and rakshasa are often used interchangeably but they refer to two different groups of beings. Asuras are children of Kashyapa; they live under the ground and fight the devas. Rakshasas are children of Pulastya; they live in forests and fight humans. Kashyapa and Pulastya are Brahma's mind-born sons.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
BUT BRAHMA STUBBORNLY REFUSES TO take the journey towards Purusha. He is determined to find identity and meaning through Prakriti alone. Brahma divides subjective reality into two parts: what belongs to him and what does not belong to him. Property is thus created. It is humankind's greatest delusion through which humanity seeks to generate meaning and identity.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
Vishnu Vishnu Vishnu regarded regarded regarded Brahma Brahma Brahma... They sat in the Hall of Mirrors.
~ Roger Zelazny
Think not less of me in my omniscience, said Brahma, stifling a yawn with his scepter, if I admit to having, for the moment, forgotten these figures.
~ Roger Zelazny
Reality is a state of mind. To the banker, the money in his ledger book is all very real, though he doesn't actually see it or touch it. But to the Brahma, it simply doesn't exist the way the air and the earth, pain and loss do. To him, the banker's reality is folly. To the banker, the Brahma's ideas are as inconsequential as dust.
~ Libba Bray

~ John Stuart Blackie
Brahma is said to have produced the world by a kind of fall or mistake; and in order to atone for his folly, he is bound to remain in it himself until he works out his redemption. As an account of the origin of things, that is admirable!
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
should also worry that he is being dreamed. (In the Hindu Vedanta tradition, all the world is a dream of Brahma.)
~ Sean Carroll
It imprisons Brahm? in the universe like a potter in his own giant urn. It tosses Vishnu into the dark tangle of his ten avatars. Rudra it forces to beg roaming with a skull in his cupped palms, and it makes S?rya circle the sky endlessly. I bow my head to karma.
~ bhartrhari ii
An ignorant man is easily pleased, learned man even easier, but a man distorted by little knowledge, even Brahma can not please.
