You have been given a human birth to enable you to understand your own nature. When you do not know the nature of your self, how are you going to know the nature of the world? The aspect of divine creation is spread and present all through the world. The life force in this world and the life force that exists in you are inseparable aspects on one and the same divine aspect. Although air is present everywhere around you, yet we do not see it. So also, this life force, though present in the whole world, can be recognized only in some places and by some human beings.
(Summer Showers in Brindivan, 1977, pg 203)
