We are too busy counting and documenting the little waves upon the surfaces of life and are therefore unable to perceive the immense forces that drive creation from behind. We read its syllables in isolation but miss the words and the sentences thereby missing the secret sense and purpose behind all the motions and movements of nature from the shift within the atoms to the gigantic galactic drifts of the constellations. We look for immediate causes for our ills and their remedies, at best for intermediate causes but there is a larger plan, a larger drift that influences us as well. Our smallness before the immensity of the universe is but one fact.
The other equally important fact is our interconnectedness with this immensity, an interconnectedness of Knowledge and awareness, an interconnectedness of Power. What is even more important but seldom explored by modern sciences is not only how this interconnectedness influences us but also how we can actually plug into this totality and immensity and become conscious of this tremendous and enormous Energy that drives the wheels of Time and determines the stir of the stars.
We can become this Knowledge and this Power says the ancient Science of yoga and becoming discover that we are not just this momentary, temporary and fragmented formation of personality, a transient and unsatisfactory product of the sperm and gene and gas but the repository and reservoir of the very Energy and Force I Creation. We are the secret Source of creation. It is we who burn yonder in distant stars; it is we who extend into various names and forms and qualities that determine the diversity of creation; we are the Breath of the Spirit that bloweth where it listeth. It is just that caught in the turns and twists of the wheel we are not aware of the hub and the center. Yet we are That, the core as well as the surface movement, the hub and the spokes, masters of Destiny, determinants of our Fate.
