Let's take an atom between our fingers. In reality this atom has no
humility nor pride. It is an atom. It should suffice for it and for
the rest of the universe. But if it doesn't? If the atom would
consider itself as a molecule, whould that be pride? If it had a
feeling that it is nothing but a photon, would that be humility? I
think in both of these cases the atom has unreal perception of
reality. Therefore atom acts wrongly if it tries to act like a
molecule or a photon. Tiny atom doesn't cause too much trouble in our
vast universe, but there is a seed of trouble no matter how small the
trouble would be. Release of this kind of friction or disharmony lies
in true seeing of one's self and surroundings.
