The universe is a great harmony; everything fits with everything else. It is a tremendous miracle, so vast, immeasurable, infinite, yet everything fits with everything else – absolutely. Except for man. Man is the only black sheep in existence. And the reason man does not fit is that man has been given a great gift: the gift of consciousness.
Everything else has to fit. It is just natural to fit with the universe. Man has to decide whether to be in tune or not to be in tune. And man has freedom of choice. It is a great gift, but it can be misused; it is being misused by millions of people. They choose not to be in tune with existence. They choose conflict with existence, struggle with existence. Obviously they suffer for it, they have to suffer…
You cannot fight the whole; the whole is too vast, too big. It is like a dewdrop fighting the ocean. It is just stupid, utter stupidity, but that’s what many have decided to do. The ego is just a dewdrop fighting with existence, trying to conquer the universe.
