जीवन के अत्यन्त गम्भीर क्षण होते हैं। इस क्षण में मानवता के पुराने आसान सवाल हमारे पास अपनी पूरी गहराई के साथ लौटते हैं, और हम खुद से पूछते हैं कि हम क्या हैं? पृथ्वी में यह जीवन क्यों बना है? क्या हमें यहाँ कोई विश्राम नहीं करना है और सदैव परिश्रम करते रहना है और अपने पड़ोसियों के सुख के अवशेषों पर अपने खुद के सुख का निर्माण करते रहना है? और जब हमने पृथ्वी पर अपना घर बना लिया है, जो भाप, गैस और बिजली से जितना सुविधाजनक बना सकते थे, बना लिया है तब भी हम क्या उस हिन्दू से ज्यादा सुखी हैं जो अपने आदिम घर में रहता है?
