The Unifying Web, The Law of Karma, and Soul in Action

The Unifying Web and the Law of Karma

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

--Herman Melville

Soul in Action

What we commonly call man, the eating, drinking, planting man, does not, as we know him, represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect, but the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our knees bend.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson
