So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a link of it.

You show the world as a complete, unbroken chain, an eternal chain, linked together by cause and effect.

A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception (Anant-darshana), perfect knowledge (Anant-jnana), perfect power (Anant-virya), and perfect bliss (Anant-sukha).

If we could only just see our lives as links in the chain of life, and see as our first responsibility to get that next link in the chain safely to the future

Man is that link of the chain of universal existence, by which spiritual and corporeal Beings are united … How will man, that sanguinary tyrant, be able to excuse himself from the charge of those innumerable cruelties inflicted on his unoffending subjects committed to his care, formed for his benefit, and placed under his authority by their common Father?

Getting down to the most common denominator is the only way to achieve ideological coherence and unity. Race is of course the most basic element... With the religionists at one end of the Movement and the atheists at the other, total agreement can still be reached on this one point: the chain. Whether beginning with evolution or some kind of divine creation, the chain represents the endless journey of the generations of the White Man through the countless centuries of time. And we are all out to see that the chain remains unbroken Like the earth and the universe itself, it is eternal and, if anything is sacred, this certainly is. It's referred to as a chain because at any given point in time, that particular generation is a link with certain obligation and duty to both past and future. Behind us we can see the chain stretching backward into infinity and, ahead of us, forward toward and even greater infinity. We may well be living in a terrible time, terrible for us, but it only means that the responsibility and the care for the chain that we are now charged with is at its most critical point, perhaps more so than at any other time... THERE is all the identity, purpose meaning, and birthright (as well as duty) that anyone could ever hope for. And it is quite real, not "pie in the sky" or some abstract form of moralistic dogma.

Poor and rich, wise and unwise, we are all links of the same great chain.

"One all-extending soul connects each being, greatest with the least; made beast in aid of man, and man in aid of beast; All served, all serving; nothing stands alone; the chain holds on, and where it ends, unknown".

Though this body has its beginning and end, the dweller in the body is infinite and without end” (note 7).

Our ancient experience confirms at every point that everything is linked together, everything is inseparable.

The same substance composes us — the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star — we are all one, all moving to the same end.

Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.

Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.

Sure as Life holds all parts together, Death holds all parts together.
