“Everything is sacred. The ground upon which you walk is holy ground. … You should have reverence for all things. All things are God, so-to-speak, the leaf, the cockroach, bedbug, the mass murderer, everything is God. But most people do not understand this. They judge by appearances and they want solutions immediately with the things that they see.

But as you become evolved you begin to intellectually understand this thoroughly. The whole universe is Brahman. The whole universe is effortless, choice-less, pure awareness, sat-chit-ananda [existence-consciousness-bliss]. So a realized being is all pervasive and is all of these things.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
