Prashna Upanishad 3.2
beginner
तस्मै स होवाचातिप्रश्नान्पृच्छसि ब्रह्मिष्ठोऽसीति तस्मात्तेऽहं ब्रवीमि॥

tasmai sa hovācātiprśnānpṛcchasi brahmiṣṭho'sīti tasmātte'haṃ bravīmi ||

"The sage replied: "You ask very profound questions. Since you are most devoted to Brahman, I will answer you.""

What This Means:

The sage acknowledges that these are deep questions. He agrees to answer because the seeker is truly devoted to truth.

Going Deeper:

Ati-prashna (super-questions) deserve ati-uttara (super-answers). The teacher responds to the sincerity of the student.

How To Apply This:

Deep questions deserve deep answers. But only genuine seekers receive the fullest teachings.
