I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

All things are Brahma
Brahma is all things

by that thought all things are actions and witnesses of actions and therefore are not only events but also witnesses to the events and participants in the events. everything is intertwined and being with each other. My actions influence the nuts and bolts holding something together and in turn they affect me. I breath the air and the air sustains me and we exchange things. this computer shows me things and i give it more things to show others. together we explore and experience. Since the Nada Brahma was uttered everything has been partaking in and being part of the great event of existence. which is an event and a state.
