Today cynicism and apathy are rampant and people are caught up in meaningless worries, endless desires and unattainable ambitions, and have no peace of mind. People have forgotten their divine essence. Spiritual illumination alone can reveal the right path to everyone who is groping in the darkness of ignorance and peaceless-ness. Divinity is inherent in humanity. Humanity must discover its basic human qualities. What is humanness? Essentially it means unity in thought, word and deed. True human qualities can grow only in a loving heart, just like a seed can grow in fertile soil and not on a piece of rock. Hence all of you must develop compassion and equanimity. Divinity is all pervading and is present within and outside every being. Every one of you is an embodiment of the Divine. Like God you are also embodiments of Love. Expand your love by sharing it with all without narrow-mindedness and make your life purposeful and worthy!
