“What family are you from, bright one?" "Sir, I don't know. My mother says she bore me in her youth ands doesn't know my ancestry. She says that since my name is Satyakama and hers is Jabala I should call myself Satyakama Jabala." "None but a true brahmin could have said that. Fetch the firewood my boy, I will initiate you. You have not flinched from the truth”
Quote by Chandogya Upanishad, page 128 of Eknath Eswaran's translation
