"Parents love their children not because they are born of them but because of the love of the Atman within them which  is the same as theirs."

"Love of wealth is not born out of its use but because of the love of Atman in it which is the same Atman."

"Cattle are dear to us not because they are lovable or useful by themselves but because of the love of the same Atman present in them."
