The sages addressed all human beings as ‘Children of Immortality, Amirtasya-putrah." But in spite of this definite assurance and the inexhaustible joy that can be experienced therefrom, man degrades himself into an Anrita-putra (child of falsehood) and starts wailing that he lacks this, that or some other comfort or contraption! Thieves who rob him of valuable treasures like peace and contentment, equipoise and courage, are being honoured as masters, and masters who ensure peace and happiness are treated with irreverence and disgust. You can bolt your doors and windows against thieves, but who can bolt the door against death? The thieves - lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and hate - are honoured as welcome guests and the real well-wishers like tranquillity and humility are shown the door!
