The world is comparable to a big machine. Each individual is a cog in this big machine. We may feel the futility of our lives when we are compared to a small pin, a bolt or a screw in this huge machine. However, imagine a train running at a great speed. This train cannot be brought to a halt even if hundreds try to stop it. But if the driver puts on the brake, with the help of a small pin, it will instantly stop.
In the same manner, when an individual uses their mind, ideals, intelligence and faces trouble and untruth in this world, he/she has the capacity to counter the sorrow in this world. This is so, in spite of his/her being only a small pin or a bolt in this big machine of the world. Therefore, each one must regard oneself as a good and useful person in the context of the prosperity of the world.
