Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 1

When we teach others, we arm them—sometimes against ourselves; the master's gift becomes the student's weapon.

Shiva Purana

When Brahma and Vishnu argue over who is supreme, a blazing pillar of light appears. Brahma flies up as a swan, Vishnu digs down as a boar - neither finds the end. Shiva reveals himself as the infinite reality beyond all forms.
