Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference
Identifies Vishnu as the ultimate source and cause from which everything originates. **Mythological Interpretation
"Yatḥ" means from whom, from which, whence, or the source. The Brahma Sutra's definition of Brahman includes "janmādy asya yataḥ" (that from which creation originates) - this "yataḥ" is Vishnu. All causal chains trace back to Yatḥ - the source of sources. Rivers flow from mountains, mountains rose from tectonic forces, forces from energy, energy from the Big Bang, the Big Bang from... ultimately from Yatḥ. Every "why?" question ultimately answers "because of Yatḥ." Every "from where?" traces to Yatḥ. This isn't merely temporal origin (though that too) but logical and ontological source. At this moment, everything exists from Yatḥ - sustained, energized, and empowered by Him. Without Yatḥ as continuous source, nothing could persist even for an instant. Existentially, asking "Where do I come from?" leads to parents, ancestors, early life forms, cosmic origins, and ultimately Yatḥ - the sourceless source. Psychologically, all motivations trace to desires, desires to seeking happiness, seeking happiness to intuiting bliss, and ultimate bliss is Yatḥ. The spiritual quest is reverse-engineering existence to discover Yatḥ - the fountain from which all flows.
