You must develop a sense of spiritual oneness. Out of that sense of oneness, love will grow. Love alone can bind the whole of humanity into one unit. What do you see in the precincts of Prashanthi Nilayam? People gather from Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and all parts of the world. What has brought them together in this small village? It is only love and the sense of oneness shared with others. The bliss of life is embedded in love, and it gives you pure bliss. When your life dances on the waves of this love, it attains fulfillment. Love and Sacrifice (Prema and Thyaga) are the two most important ideals in life. Love all, even those who hate you. That is the index of your devotion. Peace, truth and love are inherent in every being. Why do you search for them outside? Manifest these qualities which are within you. Cultivate forbearance and compassion. This is the way to foster the love principle.
