"All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who
have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark."
Swami Vivekananda, 1863 - 1902, a key figure in the introduction of
Vedanta and Yoga to the western world
In the grand scheme of things, man
is but a very young and successful species on the third
planet from a common star, in a garden-variety galaxy among billions of similar
galaxies, in a Universe, the dimensions of which are not yet fully
known. It is preordained that one day, we as a species will simply
disappear. Earth will be but a burned-out cinder as the Sun writhes in the
death throws of its Red Giant phase, on its way to becoming
a White Dwarf. The Universe won't even take notice of the event,
as the death struggle of stars like our Sun, is a common
occurrence throughout the trillions upon trillions of suns and the billions of
galaxies that are known to inhabit what is visible to our eyes and our
instruments.
