Let Noble Thoughts Come From Every Side

Rigveda 1.89.1

기원전 1500~1200년경(구전 전승)

ORIGINAL

आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः (ā no bhadrāḥ kratavo yantu viśvataḥ)

📜 THE VERSE

Let noble thoughts come to us from every side — unchecked from anywhere, unclouded from any source.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Have I opened my window of learning to only one direction, and barred the other three?

📝Reflection

This short invocation holds the essence of an open mind — let good thoughts come 'from every side.' Not only from my camp, my side, the sources I already trust. How often have I listened only to those who agree with me, pushing away the other side's wisdom without even hearing it. Three thousand years ago the poet knew that truth has no borders. Wisdom does not favor a direction. To not block a good thought because it came from an unfamiliar place — that openness makes a person wide.
