The third thing is the constant desire to live. Every bird, every animal, even the smallest insect in the world, as soon as we try to touch it, it wishes to save its life; it runs away, it wants to live; even if it lives in the dirt its desire is to live. How dear life is to every creature. How much everybody wishes to live! At the same time there is this force of destruction in the form of diseases and death, which sweep away so many; yet still the desire in every heart is to live. This thought teaches that it is not believing in God, in spirit, in religion, that is the secret; it is the desire for life in every heart. This, too, man can find by searching within himself. The life is hidden within him, and when he begins to find then he feels he is safe.
