The Teacher of Discernment and Self-Knowledge

Introduction: In the form of a white swan, the Lord taught self-knowledge to the sages.

Story: Sanakadi Muni asked Brahma why the mind wanders among worldly objects and how it can be freed. Brahma could not answer and meditated on the Lord. The Lord then appeared as Hamsa and gave them the knowledge that dispels the mind’s doubts. The swan is said to separate milk from water, so it symbolises the power to tell right from wrong.

Message: The wandering of the mind ends through discernment.
