Individual reconstruction is much more important than the construction of temples. Multiply virtues, not buildings; practice what you preach, that is the real pilgrimage; cleanse your minds of envy and malice, that is the real bath in holy waters. Of what avail is the name of the Lord on the tongue, if the heart within is impure? Injustice and discontent are spreading everywhere due to this one fault in man: saying one thing and doing the opposite, the tongue and the hand going in different directions. People have to set themselves right and correct their food, recreation, method of spending their leisure as well as their habits of thought.

- Divine Discourse, March 24, 1965.

 

Love in action is righteousness. - Baba
