“There is one thing in this world that you must never forget to do. If you forget everything else and not this, there’s nothing to worry about; but if you remember everything else and forget this, then you will have done nothing in your life.
It’s as if a king has sent you to some country to do a task, and you perform a hundred other services, but not the one he sent you to do. So, human beings come into this world to do some particular work. That work is the purpose, and each is specific to the person. If you don’t do it, it is as though a priceless Indian sword were used to slice rotten meat. It’s a golden bowl being used to cook turnips, when one filing from the bowl could buy a hundred suitable pots.
Remember the deep root of your being, the presence of your Lord. Give your life to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.”
