Stanley
Kubrick gave an interview in 1968 which has become a classic: “If man really
sat back and thought about his impending termination, and his terrifying
insignificance and aloneness in the cosmos, he would surely go mad, or succumb
to a numbing sense of futility. Why, he might ask himself, should he bother to
write a great symphony, or strive to make a living, or even to love another,
when he is no more than a momentary microbe on a dust mote whirling through the
unimaginable immensity of space? ” Vedanta answers these questions by asserting
that none of us is a dust mote. We are all part of one indivisible, eternal
life. We redeem ourselves through self transcendence
that is by our connection with others.
