"Every man has a heart. Every heart is filled with compassion. However, how many choose to
share this compassion with others? Sharing the compassion in one's heart with ten others has
been characterised as Bhakthi (devotion). One who does not share his compassion with others
cannot be called a human being. Today the human heart that should be full of compassion has
become stone-hard. This is man's misfortune. What is the reason? It is because the heart is filled
with the bitterness of differences of caste, creed and nationality that it has become stony. All
human beings belong to one caste, one community, one nation. All are embodiments of the
Divine. Krishna declared in the Geetha: "All beings in the world are a fragment of My Self." It is
tragic that man should forget his divine essence and behave like a demon."
