The 'I' is the foundation on which you build your divinity and the mansion of dharma (righteousness). This truth can be known through Karma and Upaasana (activity and dedication, deeds and devotion) which purify and clarify. Just as water and fire get transformed into steam, which moves a locomotive and drags heavy wagons along the rails, Karma and Upaasana generate Jnaanam (spiritual knowledge), which moves man's life smoothly along the rails of peace and joy. Karma and Upaasana create detachment; they teach the true sense of values; man learns that peace can be won only by withdrawing the mind from the objective world, not by allowing it to graze in the poisonous meadows of sensual pleasure.

- Divine Discourse, March 19, 1967.
