When a small child first starts school, he makes excuses not to go, but his parents send him anyway because they are thinking of his future. They hope he’ll grow up to be a professor or an engineer and earn high degrees. They are prepared to go without for the sake of his education. Realized souls are also like that. They endure joy and suffering, heat and cold, for the sake of others. A river quenches the thirst of people. It doesn’t drink its own water. Saints are like that. They come into this world to explain the Truth to humanity and give Knowledge to those who love God.
