Man still believes that Ananda can be obtained from the external world. He hoards wealth, authority, fame and learning, in order to acquire happiness. But he finds that they are fraught with fear, anxiety and pain. The millionaire is beset by the tax-gatherer, the cheat, the donation hunter, the house-breaker, and his sons and kinsmen who clamour for their share. The happiness of material origin is short-lived and has misery as its obverse. Struggle to realise the Atma, to visualise God; even failure in this struggle is nobler than success in other worldly attempts. The buffalo has horns; the elephant has tusks. But what a difference. To live in the body, with the body, for the body is the life of a worm; to live in the body, with God, for God, is the life of man. The dull, activity-hating tamasik persons cling to the ego and to kith and kin; their love is limited to these. The rajasik (active, passionate) persons seek to earn power and prestige, and love only those who will contribute to these. But the satwik (the pure, the good, the equanimity-filled), love all as embodiments of God and engage themselves in humble service. – Divine Discourse, May 24, 1967
