Two forces have been working side by side in parallel lines.
The one says "I", the other says "not I".
Their
manifestation is not only in man but in animals, not only in animals but in the
smallest worms. …
… throughout creation these two forces are working side by
side; where you find the one, you find the other too.
The one is selfishness,
the other is unselfishness.
The one is acquisition, the other is renunciation.
The one takes, the other gives.
From the lowest to the highest, the whole
universe is the playground of these two forces.
It does not require any
demonstration; it is obvious to all.
