When we fill the atmosphere with hatred we too have to perforce breathe
the same air, and are hated in turn. When we saturate the air
with sounds full of reverence, humility, love, courage, self-confidence and tolerance, we
benefit from those qualities ourselves. The heart is the film
and the mind is the lens; turn the lens towards the world and worldly
pictures fall on the heart. Turn it towards God and it will
transmit the pictures of the Divine.
