The hopes raised by the advances of science and technology have proved dupes. While science has overcome the barriers of time, distance and nationality, it has done little to promote better understanding between man and man, and nation and nation. However there are heartening signs that earnest seekers around the world are turning inward to find answers to this crisis. The oneness of all creation affirmed by the ancient seers must be expressed in transcendental love that embraces all people regardless of creed, community or language, to overcome this mammoth challenge. Never forget that the real source of happiness and bliss is the discovery of the true self (Atma) within yourself. All of you are essentially divine. Observe basic human qualities in daily living and raise yourself above the level of animals.

- Divine Discourse, Aug 1981
