When people do not place faith
in the Self but pursue senses only,
the danger signal is up and the Lord
sends a Messenger or comes Himself,
if a great big step in reconstruction has to be taken.
Arjuna forgot the basis of Self.
Ravana went counter to it.
The world is building itself up
on the sandy foundation of the sensory world.
So, Avatars have to come.
Like the monkey which could
not pull its hand from out of the narrow-necked pot,
because it first held in its grasp
a handful of doughnuts which the pot contained,
man too is suffering today,
since he is unwilling to release
his hold on the handful of pleasurable things
he has grasped from the world.
Man is led into the wrong belief
that the accumulation of material
possessions will endow him with joy and calm.
But Divine Love alone can give that everlasting joy.
Divine love alone will remove anger and envy and hatred.
