Be a bee, drinking the nectar of every flower; not the mosquito drinking blood and distributing disease in return. First, consider all as children of the Lord, as your own brothers and sisters; develop the quality of love, seek always the welfare of humanity. Love and you will be loved in return, hate will never be your lot if you promote love and look upon all with love. That is the one lesson I teach always; that is my secret too... I do not ask that you should be a scholar or a recluse or an ascetic skilled in japa (recitation of holy Name) and dhyaana (meditation). "Is your heart full of prema (love)?" that is all I
examine.
