In reality, all the miseries of mankind is caused by mankind itself, not by any extraneous agency. Having all the instruments of joy and contentment in one's possession, if man is miserable, it is only due to his perverseness and his stupidity. He has been warned, over centuries, by the scriptures of all languages that he should give up greed and lust, give up the habit of catering to the senses, and give up the belief that he is just this body and nothing more. Yet he does not know the illness that is torturing him. The disease is due to 'vitamin deficiency,' as they say; the vitamins are satya, dharma, shanti andprema (truth, righteousness, peace and divine love). Take them and you recover; assimilate them into your character and conduct, and you shine with fine mental and physical health.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
