नासदासीन्नो सदासीत्तदानीं नासीद्रजो नो व्योमा परो यत् । किमावरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्नम्भः किमासीद्गहनं गभीरम् ॥
nasadasinno sadasittadanim nasidrajo no vyoma paro yat . kimavarivah kuha kasya sharmannambhah kimasidgahanam gabhiram ..
Before being, before non-being — no air, no sky beyond. What stirred, and where, and under whose care? What was the water, deep and unfathomed? The hymn only asks.
In Niyam, this mantra can stand between you and your most distracting apps — it appears for 15 seconds, in your script with its meaning, each time you open them. Read, breathe, continue. Fourteen days of those pauses become a sadhana.
