All is Complete

This verse from the Isha Upanishad is radical. The notion that you and I and everything the world over is complete (purnam) seems absurd. Today you can find a million and one things wrong with the state of affairs—wars, famine, racial injustice, the high price of groceries. But this teaching …

The Lotus Heart and the Body Politic
