In this vast universe, every creature lives according to the law of its being. Man alone, who has the gift of this extremely precious human birth, is failing to realize the purpose of his existence and ignores his duties.
Immersed in sensual mundane pleasures, man forgets his spiritual destiny. All scholarship is valueless without Self-realization. Ravana, Bhasmaasura and Kamsa were not lacking in scholarship or even religious practices. But all these were related to the externals and not to the cultivation of the Spirit inside. Hence, their basic demonic qualities did not change.
It is only when impure and unholy thoughts are expelled from the mind that sacred feelings will enter it. To experience lasting bliss, the heart has to be sanctified by filling it with love. Through that love has to be secured the highest wisdom.
(Sanathana Sarathi, September 1996, pg 231)
