"If each link of pratitya-samutpada is a trace of all the others, if each jewel in Indra's Net mutually conditions and is conditioned by all the other jewels, then to become completely groundless is also to become completely grounded, not in some particular but in the whole web of interdependent relations. The supreme irony of my struggle to ground myself is that it cannot succeed because I am already grounded in the totality. Or, better: as the totality."
