Look upon life as one long railway journey. In this journey it is not good to carry heavy luggage. There are stations on the way like Aarthi (suffering), Arthaarthi (desire for objects), jignaasu (yearning for understanding) and Jnaani (Self-realization). The less luggage one carries the more easily and quickly one can get through various stages and reach the destination. The primary requisite, therefore, is the eradication of desires.

- Divine Discourse, October 12, 1983.
