Hatred, violence, unkindness, disloyalty, greed – any act or urge which sets us apart from others in pursuit of our own self-aggrandizement – all violate the central law of existence, that all of us are part of an indivisible whole. Those who are always aware of dharma will do nothing to violate this unity, no matter what the provocation. It is one of the loftiest tests of spiritual awareness.
– Eknath Easwaran, from "The Constant Companion"
