Matter cannot be said to cause force nor [can] force [be]
the cause of matter. Both are so [related] that one may disappear in the other.
There must be a third [factor], and that third something is the mind. You
cannot produce the universe from matter, neither from force. Mind is something
[which is] neither force nor matter, yet begetting force and matter all the time.
In the long run, mind is begetting all force, and that is what is meant by the
universal mind, the sum total of all minds. Everyone is creating, and [in] the
sum total of all these creations you have the universe -- unity in diversity.
It is one and it is many at the same time.
- Swami Vivekananda, Talk in San Francisco
