A beautiful verse from 2,500 years ago

As the year draws to a close I thought I'd share one of the most beautiful verses from Indian scripture which I have read. This verse comes from the Isa Upanishad, which is part of the Yajur Veda (the Vedas are the oldest of all Indian scripture).All is perfect, so perfectly perfect!Whatever being lives, movesAnd breathes on EarthAt every level from atomTo galaxy is absolutely perfect in its placePrecise and choreographed,Because "That" flows from the Glory of the InfiniteThe LordThe SelfConsciousness,The Source,Awareness, Peace, and Love,And is therefore perfect.When you have surrendered your egoTo "That"You will find true happiness.Never ever envy the place ofAny other man or woman(Translation by Alan Jacobs)
