"Matter and mind are not separate, they are aspects of one energy. Look at the mind as a function of matter and you have science; look at matter as the product of the mind and you have religion."

"La matière et l'esprit ne sont pas séparés, ils sont des aspects d'une énergie. Regardez l'esprit comme fonction de la matière et vous avez la science; regardez la matière comme le produit de l'esprit et vous avez la religion."

"Materie und Geist sind nicht voneinander verschieden, sie sind Aspekte einer Energie. Betrachte den Geist als eine Funktion von Materie und du hast Wissenschaft; betrachte Materie als Produkt des Geistes und du hast Religion."

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

In the beginning was the plan,

and then the specification;

And the plan was without form,

and the specification was void.

And darkness

was on the faces of the implementors thereof;

And they spake unto their leader,

saying:

“It is a crock of shit,

and smells as of a sewer.”

And the leader took pity on them,

and spoke to the project leader:

“It is a crock of excrement,

and none may abide the odor thereof.”

And the project leader

spake unto his section head, saying:

“It is a container of excrement,

and it is very strong, such that none may abide it.”

The section head then hurried to his department manager,

and informed him thus:

“It is a vessel of fertilizer,

and none may abide its strength.”

The department manager carried these words

to his general manager,

and spoke unto him

saying:

“It containeth that which aideth the growth of plants,

and it is very strong.”

And so it was that the general manager rejoiced

and delivered the good news unto the Vice President.

“It promoteth growth,

and it is very powerful.”

The Vice President rushed to the President's side,

and joyously exclaimed:

“This powerful new software product

will promote the growth of the company!”

And the President looked upon the product,

and saw that it was very good.
