“Like the subtle essence of the mustard seed that brings forth a tree, the subtle essence of one’s heart (the Spirit) has the potential to unfold the entire universe within itself. In Chhandogya Upanishad, Shwetaketu is asked by his Guru, Sage Aruni, to break a tiny seed and see what lies within it. Shwetaketu replies that he sees nothing within the seed. Sage Aruni explains that in that subtle essence, which appears as nothing, a great tree is hidden. In the same way, human beings appear to be nothing and yet this whole universe, the subtle Atman or the Self, the innermost Reality, is hidden within every person.” (p. 233)
