All differences in this world
by Swami Vivekananda

This overcoming of all the usual barriers
between the individual and the Absolute

and we become aware of our oneness.
This is the everlasting and triumphant mystical tradition,
hardly altered by differences of clime or creed.
- William James

Recall a recent time when someone was strongly critical

only a fixed quantity of each resource -

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.
