When the strength of your body, the strength of your mind, and the strength of your intelligence are good and powerful, if you cannot use your life for helping others, what is the use of your life? It will be a waste. You cannot lead your life like the oil drop on the surface of water, without touching the water. Your birth, your life, your mode of conduct are all connected intimately with the community around you. If that community around you is not remembered by you and if all the time you think of your selfish interest, you are not going to be any good at all to any one.
(Summer Showers in Brindivan 1977, pg 89)
