अथ कबन्धी कात्यायन उपेत्य पप्रच्छ। भगवन्कुतो ह वा इमाः प्रजाः प्रजायन्त इति॥

atha kabandhī kātyāyana upetya papraccha | bhagavankuto ha vā imāḥ prajāḥ prajāyanta iti ||

"Then Kabandhi Katyayana approached and asked: "Lord, from where are these creatures born?""

What This Means:

The first question is fundamental: Where do all beings come from? What is the origin of creation?

Going Deeper:

This is the perennial question of cosmology that all philosophies address. The answer reveals the nature of ultimate reality.

How To Apply This:

Ask the fundamental questions: Where do I come from? What is the source of existence?
