"In this world, everything is subject to change - be it happiness or sorrow, peace or unrest, pleasantness or unpleasantness. Man is unable to understand his true nature because he considers the body permanent and identifies himself with it. But the body is temporary and impermanent. Man is not merely a Vyashti Jeevi (individual). He is a Samashti Jeevi (part of society) and does not like to lead a life of loneliness. The Vedas declare: Sahasra Seersha Purusha Sahasraksha Sahasra Pad (God has thousands of heads, eyes and feet). He is immanent in each and every being. In his delusion, man fails to realise his real cosmic form, considers himself merely an individual and thereby subjects himself to suffering."

(Divine Discourse - 4.11.2002)
