Man is the beneficiary of innumerable gifts of God : wind, rain, sunlight and so on. What gratitude is man showing to God for all these, while he is paying a big price for every small benefit he derives from civic services like water supply and electric power? God is the provider of all that is essential for life. What recompense is man making to God? On the contrary, he goes on praying for more benefits. This insatiable desire is the cause of all man's evil qualities. The truly human qualities are calmness, forbearance and compassion. Man should lead a contented life.
(Sanathana Sarathi, August 1996, pg 205)
