Bhagavad Gita 10.6
महर्षयः सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा। मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमाः प्रजाः॥
maharṣhayaḥ sapta pūrve chatvāro manavas tathā mad-bhāvā mānasā jātā yeṣhāṁ loka imāḥ prajāḥ
Translation
The seven great Rishis, the ancient Four, and also the Manus, were born of My nature, and mind; of them this race was generated.
What it means
The seven great sages, the ancient four, and the Manus were born of My mind, and from them descended this world's creatures. Even the genealogy of humanity is traced to a thought. Mind precedes ancestry.
Try this today
The lineage of sages and lawgivers traced to the divine mind itself.
Something to reflect on
What ancestry of ideas runs my thinking that I have never traced?
