Life must be associated with love, not hatred. Some people do not know how to talk courteously. Whatever they say is discourteous and harsh. This is not correct. Every human being should talk sweetly and softly. Your words must be suffused with love. Only then will you experience peace. When your behavior and speech is unpleasant, how can you expect peace to reign in your heart? Peace is not in the outside world; it is very much in your own heart. There are only pieces outside, not peace. You say “I want peace.” Let your behavior be good and courteous. Then, peace will flow from you. Lead a life of mutual love. ‘Love all! Serve all!’ This is My exhortation to you. If only there is love, you can achieve anything. Love is everything. Love is life; life is love.
