Man is a pilgrim towards Dharmakshetra, the abode of dharma, which is the abode also of shanti, but, on the way, he is led into the bylanes and alleys of objective pleasure by the senses to which he has become a slave. Man is eager to know about all kinds of trivialities, like the details of other lives and other places, but, he has no keenness to know about himself or the place from where he himself has come. Man is sunk in ignorance about himself, his source and substance, his goal and fate. He reduces himself to just one name and one form, and limits himself to just one individual; he, the inheritor of unlimited wealth and fortune, feels himself a pauper. Remove this ego boundary; then only can you recognize the vastness of yourself.
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
