What does it mean: Goddess Saraswati sitting on the Swan?

She is the Goddess of divine knowledge, all the knowledge comes from her. She is one of the most worshiped Goddesses…to the students and the seekers. One who gets the grace of Goddess Saraswati, he gets everything, as knowledge is “light.”

Swan is the symbol of awesome discriminatory power between good and bad. If you give him mixture of water and milk, it is said he can extract pure milk out of water.

So a man should be like a Swan, so that he could see: good as exact good and bad as exact bad, without an error. And with this discrimination, could lead his life to more divine dimensions.

[...And it comes later on during and after the enlightenment, when a man feels the unity of opposites, where good is not good and bad is not bad. Then, so called non-judgemental attitude takes place.]
