It may take several lives for you to prove that you know what is best
for yourself, when you will be able to chalk your own future without
harming yourself or others, and are aware of all pitfalls on
the way. It is best to trust the experience of the sages, who
were filled with compassion, and who were moved by that compassion to
illumine the path of liberation. This experience is enshrined in
the Vedas. Faith in the Vedas irrigates the heart and makes it
yield the harvest of universal love.
