quotations about Brahma
I am a sinner and you are a sinner, but someday the sinner will be Brahma again, will someday attain Nirvana, will someday become a Buddha. Now this 'someday' is illusion; it is only a comparison.
HERMANN HESSE
attributed, Stand Still Like the Hummingbird
But, as often as the heart
Breaks--wild and wavering--from control, so oft
Let him re-curb it, let him rein it back
To the soul's governance; for perfect bliss
Grows only in the bosom tranquillized,
The spirit passionless, purged from offence,
Vowed to the Infinite. He who thus vows
His soul to the Supreme Soul, quitting sin,
Passes unhindered to the endless bliss
Of unity with Brahma.
EDWIN ARNOLD
The Song Celestial
The Hebrew patriarch Abraham shows similarity to Brahma, something first observed by 16th century scholars. Although he is equal to Vishnu and Shiva in power and stature, Brahma is the least worshipped member of the triad, even though he's the easiest one to please. Why? He is said to have lost his following because of a single act of wantonness.
SWAMI ACHUTHANANDA
The Ascent of Vishnu and the Fall of Brahma
Rebirth then takes place in the celestial palace of the first realm of concentration, and the first to be born there has a large body and the notion of being the creator of that world. He is known as the ancestor of that world, the great Brahma, who is principal. Those who are subsequently born are smaller in size; and since they think they were born based upon Brahma's wish, they become members of his retinue.

An Ambrosia Ocean of Sublime Explanations
It is not that Christ is superior to Allah, not that Allah is everything and Brahma is nothing, but it is the same one whom you call either Brahma or Allah, or Almighty, or by a hundred other names. The names are different but God is one and the same.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
attributed, Quote Fancy
Brahma has four heads and it is believed that from these heads came the four Vedas (the most ancient religious texts for Hindus). Some also believe that the caste system, or four varnas, came from different part of Brahma's body. He has four arms and is usually depicted with a beard.
