adiYen has heard from the learned that in one of the

Upanishads, God is compared to a spider and all of His

creations to its web - just very lightly touch, or

breathe hard on a portion of the web, and the spider

instanty senses it because it is intimately connected

to its own web, which sprung out of itself (perhaps

akin to the scientific Big Bang theory of the creation

of the universe): "All things are connected....", "No

man is an island....", etc.

A WONDERFUL piece of practical advice !! - many a time

it has kept such poor souls as adiYen from thinking or

doing wrong - may be this is what other religions call

as 'developing a personal relationship with God'
