« The Hindu Sacred Scriptures tell us that one day God will breathe in and this universe will be swallowed up and dissolve into non-being. And then, once more, God will breathe out and a new creation will appear, to last, in its turn, for billions of years. The rhythm of Godʼs breathing, as it manifests itself through man, is very rapid, but as it manifests itself in the cosmos, it is very, very slow. Therefore, the slower our breathing, the nearer we come to the rhythm of Godʼs breathing. »
