Quotes

• The Entire Cosmos is all pervaded by the same divine power. There is no ultimate duality in human existence or in consciousness. This is a truth, which in the West is only recently being understood after Einstein and Heisenberg and quantum mechanics. The Newtonian-Cartesian-Marxist paradigm of a materialistic universe has now been finally abolished; it has collapsed in the face of the new physics. Our ancient seers had a deeper insights into the nature of reality than people had even until very recently.
