This sutra-like expression of Srila Sridhar Maharaj (a quote from Loving Search for the Lost Servant) is a profound meditation. On so many levels our current situation and identification with the material plane is nonsensical and lamentable: that we are in a constant state of quarrel (whether individually or collectively, in a subtle or gross way) with so many concocted egoistic centres clashing with one another; that we are far from home in a foreign land because we are intrinsically spiritual beings who belong in the spiritual plane; and that what we are fighting over in the first place is all fictitious and imaginary, because as spiritual beings we have no use for material gain, whether in a subtle or gross manifestation.
"We are quarreling in a foreign land for fictitious gain. But Krishna is engaged in a loving search for His long lost servants. He wants to save them and take them all home. Only by the grace of that Absolute is it possible. A wave is coming from there to take us home, to where everything finally enters."
