For someone who is blinded by ego and is unable to see anything good around them, is life going to give them any sweetness at all? For the one who never does any good, is life going to be an easy cake-walk? For the one who is leading a sinful life, is any pleasure going to come their way in future? Who is God and who is the devotee? Who is the teacher and who is the disciple? Who is the writer and who is the actor? If you choose not to apply your God-gifted intelligence to understand these answers, who is at fault? In your daily living, you are so busy establishing connection with so many people. Amongst them, you think some are your friends, you consider some others as your enemies, and spend time with those you ‘like’. Remember, for everyone, your own Self is your best friend or your worst enemy.

- Summer Roses on Blue Mountains 1976, Ch 12.
