The text is from Volume 9 of the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, which includes a collection of his writings, both prose and poetry. It features a piece titled "The Ether," originally published in the February 1895 issue of the New York Medical Times. In this article, Vivekananda discusses the classification of phenomena based on similarities as the foundation of scientific knowledge. He emphasizes that grouping similar experiences helps us understand and organize knowledge in our minds. Extraordinary facts may initially disturb us, but as we encounter more similar instances, they become less unsettling. He argues that both ordinary and extraordinary experiences hold equal wonder, despite our perceptions. The text concludes by noting that as knowledge expands, the connections among different fields of science become clearer, highlighting the unity in diversity.
