Once Bhagavan was asked whether it was not His duty to preach the Truth to all the people and thus make them free.
He answered “If a man awakes from a dream, does he ask: 'Have those men, that I saw in the dream, awakened?’ Just so the Sage is not concerned about the people of the world.”
Further referring to the notion that it would be selfish to attain freedom for oneself, leaving all the world in bondage, He said “This is like a dreamer saying 'I shall not awake till all these dream-men awake’.”
