Saraswati Stuti 5 - ब्रह्म-स्वरूपा परमा

Salutations and salutations to the one who is like Brahma, the Supreme, Illuminating, Eternal, overseer of all knowledge, to Speech. || 5 ||

Knowledge, truth is God, the Supreme, illuminating and eternal. We may find them temporally, but they are themselves eternal. 

The brahman (ब्रह्मन् ) is eternal, knowledge is supreme, it illuminates our path through the darkness of ignorance, and once known it is known foreever. Truth doesn't change, its interpretations and applications may change. Science is same, technology can change to suit the people and economies.

She being the divinity of knowledge, presides over all aspects of knowledge. She is like the Chancellor of the University, which has many departments of studies.
