All that you speak is a reflection of inner thoughts. All that you do is a reflection of inner action. Hence, to act according to your inner impulse is dharma. To speak what you feel inside is truth. To contemplate on what you experience in your heart is peace. To understand properly the promptings of the heart is ahimsa (non-violence). Consideration for all emanating from the heart is love (Prema). The five values are thus reflections of feelings emanating from the heart. Being truly human means having complete harmony between thought, word and deed. If there is divergence between thought, word and deed, what is the outcome? Fruitless action.
