We live in an era in which we often become painfully aware of how close the connection with the “outside world” is. It is not, of course, to be taken literally when in Tantric scripture our arms and legs are used to portray the continents of the universe, rather this meant in an allegorical sense implying that we are the world and the world is us. If the world or a part of it is suffering, I suffer too and if I suffer, the world is suffering. If I cause harm to the world, I harm myself and the other beings and parts; if I exploit the world, I effectively exploit myself.
