In this election season, I'm been succumbing to partisan fever despite my best intentions. An antidote is the following quotation from a wise Indian sage.

When you know beyond all doubting
that the same life flows through all that is
and that you are that life,
you will love all naturally and spontaneously.
But when you look at anything as separate from you
you cannot love it for you are afraid of it--
alienation causes fear and fear deepens alienation.
It is a vicious circle.
Only self-realization can break it.
Go for it, resolutely.
