Because the sailor and the ship and the sea are of one stuff

 

Wheatfield with cypress tree, 1889 Van Gogh

Emerson, according to Robert Richardson,

There was new power for Emerson again in the Bhagavad Gita as well. It was, he said, "a transnational book." He admired its teaching that worship is the height of right conduct, "because the sailor and the ship and the sea are of one stuff, because though the bases of things are divided, the summits are united."
