‘Vasudhaev kutumbkam,’ he understood it now, though he had heard it a thousand times before. ‘Mundo Uno - One World’.

अयं बन्धुरयं नेति, गणना लघुचेतसाम् | उदार चरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ||

"What have I done to deserve this?" she sighed, "Why can't you be content with what you've got?"

“Where else can one go? It is all here. What more is there to seek? I already have Him. What more is there to become? I already am.”
