The ball, which was purchased just five days ago, laid broken on The floor. The rubber within it was drawn out. The pieces of the outer shell were strewn all over. Nearby, a boy of around 7-8 years was sitting. His naughty and calculative brain was engaged in yet another mysterious activity. He was peeling the layers of a spinning top (a conical child`s plaything tapering to a steel point on which it can be made to spin) one by one and its little wooden pieces were lying scattered here and there.
On seeing that, his mother's patience went flat. She reached up to the boy and began to scream– “Now, what is this novel mischief? Why are you bent upon reducing this spinning top to shreds? You have already broken that new ball into pieces. What sort of game is this? Children of your age play with such things. They keep their toys in good condition at least for one year. They enjoy playing with toys. But, what about you…only within a few days you spoil everything that is brought for you to play. You reduce them to pieces and throw them away. What pleasure do you get in reducing them to shambles?”
The boy collected all the pieces of the ball and sat before his mother. Looking at those pieces that he held in his cupped palms, he said, “Dear mother! I played for one whole day with this ball. I really enjoyed throwing it into the air again and again. But, mother, when I was throwing it up, my mind turned inquisitive.”
Mother (enthusiastically): What sort of inquisitiveness?

What is Brahman?
The Taittiriya Upanishad includes an insightful Tdialogue between Bhrigu, the inquisitive student, and his father, Varuna, the enlightened teacher. Bhrigu approaches his father Varuna with a sincere urge to know about Brahman and requests him to teach Brahmavidya. Varuna replies, “Food, the vital breath, the mind, the intellect...– That from which all are born, That by which all sustain, and, That into which all finally merge– seek to know That. That is Brahman.”
