Only when people shed their selfishness can they turn their mind towards God. The love of God will dispel the ignorance and conceit of man as the sun dispels the morning mist. The heart is the seat of love. That love must express itself, to begin with, in the home. From there, it must extend to one's village or town, to one's state, nation and ultimately to the whole world.
- Divine Discourse, January 19, 1986.
