Inspirations 2.3 Meditations abd Mantras by Swami Vishnu-Devananda

'All life is interconnected.  Animals inhale in oxygen, the by-product of plants, and exhale carbon dioxide. In their bodies the oxygen combines with glucose to produce energy for the various bodily functions. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen which is then used by animals. They take nutrients from the soil and use the sunlight for photosynthesis. Man eats the plants for nourishment and when he dies, his body is returned to earth where it becomes food for the plants. This is but one small example of the complicated and interdependent relationship that exists among all things. It hardly seems possible that such a world could have been created by an accident of nature.

Relationships like these exist throughout the cosmos. Consider the size of the universe. It is impossible that these miracles occur only on earth. How many suns with planets can there be in our galaxy, and how many galaxies can there be? How large is this universe? Its size cannot be imagined, nor can the number of planets capable of supporting life be counted.

There are physical laws which cause the planets to rotate and revolve around the sun in certain, precise ways. These same laws cause whole solar systems, indeed even galaxies, to hurtle through space at tremendous speeds- all in perfect coordination. These laws could not have come about accidently without an originating cause. Only a guiding intelligence could be responsible.' (p.123-124)


2013:

Life is divine, its is a miracle. A miracle which cannot be explained by mere coincidence.  Life is about realising the oneness of all, that all comes from one infinite source of love (God). Lift the fog of ignorance, deny that we are all separate,  unconnected bodies and minds. In truth we are all interconnected, all spirit, all pure consciousness. (get of the box box box)
