ABSTRACT

Bhagavad Gita 3, 3 5 The Sage relies on actionless activity, carries on wordless teaching, but the

myriad creatures are worked upon by him. He does not disown them, he rears them but does not lay claim to them;

controls them but does not lean upon them. Tao Te Ching, II

6 You are a citizen of the world, and a part of it; not a subservient but a principal part. You are capable of comprehending the divine order, and of considering the connections of things. What then does the character of a citizen promise? To hold no private interest, to deliberate about nothing as a separate individual but, like the hand and foot, which, if they had reason and understood the constitution of nature, would never pursue or desire anything without reference to the whole being.
