A night scene, a court of birds: haṁsā niśāyām atipetuḥ — "geese flew past in the night" (the haṁsa, the wild goose, is the Upaniṣads' seer-bird!): and one warns another: the light of Jānaśruti is "spread out level with the day — do not touch it, do not be scorched!"
The first goose is in earnest: the glory of good deeds is a real light, visible to birds from on high: Jānaśruti's merit burns like a force-field! The Upaniṣad does not mock merit — it confirms its power from a bird's-eye view… so that the second goose's answer may strike the harder: there is a light beside which this blaze is nothing. An overheard conversation of birds is an ancient mode of revelation: the truth about himself a man often learns from talk not addressed to him.
