Man ruins himself by greed and lust, worry and fear; he falls an easy prey to his insatiable thirst for a happy life. He does not know the source and spring of happiness, which lies within himself; he believes he can get it in plenty and quietly by running after the mirage of fashion or fancy, excitement or entertainment. He thinks that floating on the roaring, raging torrent of the world will help; but that only gives him un-bearable tossing and nausea.
Man is born for high destiny as the inheritor of a rich heritage. He should not fritter his days in low pursuits and vulgar vanities. His destiny is to know the truth and live in it and for it. The truth alone can make man free, glad and bold. If he is not prompted by this high purpose, life is a waste; a mere tossing on the waves, for the sea of life is never calm.
-Sai Baba
