Oneness is the hardest concept for me to grasp from the book. Doing good in the world is all fine and good but treating everyone as part of the whole is a stretch I can’t really make. I’m okay with giving a homeless person a couple bucks to ease his day but I would not be okay with bringing them home letting them shower, clean up, eat dinner with my family, and borrow my best suit for a job interview. The former is a good gesture of kindness but the latter would be truly embracing the concept?
