Mishra has created new illustrations, metaphors and parables. He explains the relation between the micro, and the macro, and between human body and the cosmos by the illustration of the leaf and tree, unfolding the view of a bio-centric universe. His discourse contrasts the Western unilinear view with a vision of plurality. There are several gods, several centres are perceived, with every centre having several gods in its periphery. There is a continuous shift of centres and peripheries. He spells out the concept of “cosmic movement” through this idea of moving centres and moving peripheries.
