It is the sense of dualism, the feeling of 'mine' and 'thine', which accounts

for all the joys and sorrows, likes and dislikes experienced by man. This

dualism is rooted in selfishness, which makes one think that as long as one is

happy it does not matter what happens to the world. Such a self-centered

person, who regards his body, his wealth and his family as all that matter to

him, looks upon Reality as false and takes this false world to be real. To get

rid of this deep-seated malaise, one has to engage in acts of service and thus

realize that the body has been given not to serve one's own interests but to

serve others.- Baba
