O my Lord, Thy hand holding the sacred drum has made and ordered the heavens and earth and other worlds and innumerable souls. Thy lifted hand protects both the conscious and unconscious order of thy creation. All these worlds are transformed by Thy hand bearing fire.

These Five-Actions are indeed Thy Handiwork. (Ananda K. Coomaraswamy)

As ever in human affairs, we are struggling against our own ignorance and not against the machinations of a political adversary. View quote
