Indra & the Jeweled Net
close window

From the Vedas of ancient India:

There is an endless net of threads throughout the Universe.
The horizontal threads are in space, the vertical threads in time.
At every crossing of threads there is an individual; every individual - a jewel.
The great light of absolute being illuminates and penetrates every jewel being.
Every jewel reflects not only the light from every other jewel in the net,
But also every reflection of every reflection throughout the Universe.

We and all of life are those jewels. May our personal reflections bring more beauty to the whole.
