He has no personal freedom. He does not see that he is dependent on his want. Moreoyer, his pleasure is taken at the expense of someone else's pain; his wealth is bought at the cost of someone else's poverty. Where there is a heap in one place, there is a pit somewhere else. What will stop man from continuing the momentum of greed? A new set of eyes. The eyes of love through which to perceive his own inner richness and create a new world. The eyes of maitri through which to see people of all nations, races, and faiths, including himself, as one universal family.”
