UNIVERSAL TOTALITY

The universe is a totality, indivisible; it is an organic whole. The parts are not separate; The part represents the whole just as the seed contains the whole.

We all exist in togetherness: the trees, the mountains, the people, the birds, the stars; however far away they may appear, they are all interlinked, all bridged, and all exist in a silent harmony of togetherness.

Even the smallest blade of grass is connected to the farthest star, and it is as significant as the greatest sun.

In this boundless web of existence, every particle holds purpose, every being bears significance, and every moment sustains the unity of the whole.

“Om purnam adah purnam idam

purnat purnam udachyate

purnasya purnam adaya

purnam evavashishyate.”

It is the whole, complete in itself—purnam adah, purnam idam. Nothing here moves apart from the Whole, for all that is, is woven into the fabric of Being.

When this truth is known, the veil of separateness falls away. The seer and the seen are one, Atman is Brahman. In that knowing there is peace, in that peace, fulfillment.
