"Many devotees tell Swami that they are caught in the coils of "Samsaara" (family and worldly life) and are unable to break away from it. But what is the truth? Is it you who are clinging to "Samsaara" or is it "Samsaara" that is holding you in its grip? Has "Samsaara" any hands to hold you? You have hands and you are holding on to worldly life. "Samsaara" is not holding you. It is a paradox for you to say that Samsaara is holding you in its grip when the truth is otherwise. It is excessive attachment that is the cause of man's troubles. Do eveything as an act of offering to the Divine. Without faith in God, man ceases to be human."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 9.4.1995)
