Mankind has a history of lakhs of years. But humanity is yet to realise the greatness of humanness. After all these years, man is still unable to answer the question: "What are human values?" Men study books, listen to discourses, experience gains and losses, joys and sorrows, and so on but all these do not give them a firm hold on what is permanent in life. If they had acquitted this hold they would have realised that the world is one family. The Vedas taught the concept of one human family. The Vedas declared that the Brihat (Supreme Cosmic Principle) has no limits. It is infinite. Mankind also has no bounds or barriers. In fact, there are no barriers between humanity and every other species of living beings like birds, beasts and insects, and even trees. All of them belong to a single family of living beings. In the Tree of Life, man appears in many forms - as animals, birds and insects. In all these forms he experiences his divine essence. For every man there are four mothers. The first mother is Satyam (Truth). The second mother is Dharmam (Righteousness). The third is Prema (Love). The fourth is Shanti (peace). Man must live in such a manner that he pleases all the four mothers.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
