Suffering and pain is not new in this world Ego, jealousy, hatred and anger are just as ancient Passions grip and man surrenders But the desire to be free is also ever-present
Since the time immemorial, man has sought escape From the life of misery, bondage and unhappiness From time to time, we have been fortunate that Just such souls have appeared, on this blessed earth To show us the path, to set an example To inspire us to seek, complete freedom This is the story of one such soul Who showed us a path to enlightenment Through Ahimsa, Asteya, Aparigraha Through Satya and Brahmacharya By compassion towards all living beings Even those that cannot be seen with naked eyes
The story begins in the darkness of time But the light of compassion was still evident
