"This inner field goes by different names. Laozi called it the Tao. Plato called it the Good, the One, and the Beautiful. Aristotle called it Being. The Greek-Roman philosopher Plotinus called it the Infinite. In Judaism it is called Ein Sof, in Christianity the Kingdom of Heaven within. In more modern times, Ralph Waldo Emerson called it the Oversoul." > > > > > > So, everyone should come to meditation.
