The Vedas declare, "Ano-raniyan mahato-mahiyan: One particle of the smallest is greater than the greatest." Little things are much more important than big things, because big things are made out of little things. You are not your nation, your religion, your political party, or your race. Only 1% of your genes come from your parents. The other 99% belong to microbes. You are the sum of the myriad guests you host in your cells and chromosomes. The protons in your atoms are pilgrims from the stars. When you know how infinitesimal you are, you become vast. You become a child of the galaxy.
