Man has immense capabilities latent in him, waiting to be tapped and used. He has many talents which he has to bring to light. He feels the urge to love all beings, to share his joys and griefs with his kind, to know more and satisfy the curiosity of his intellect, to peep behind the awe and wonder that Nature arouses in him. He is able to gather information about all kinds of things from all the corners of the world, but he is unaware of what happens in the corners of his own mind. He knows who is who among all the rest, but he does not know the answer to the simple question, "Who am I?"
The fact is, he has to ask it himself and seek out the clue to the enigma himself. He has not felt that it is essential to know the answer; he is content to move about blindly in the world, groping his way in the dark. Without knowing who he is, he is rashly judging, labeling and even libeling other men. This is the fundamental reason for the hollowness of human life today, for the hate and fear that stalk the world.
(Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol IV, pg 43)
