In plain words
“Who are you? Who am I? Where have you come from?” — for a man to go on with the journey of life without knowing the answer to these three questions is a disgrace. “Who are you, where have you come from, why have you come?” Ask that, and man is in no state to give an answer. Suppose a man sets out from Bangalore on the pilgrimage to Badri and stops over at a choultry in Delhi. The people there — “Who are you, why have you come to Delhi, where are you journeying to? On what business have you come?” — they will ask him, won't they?
