Although God dwells in every person, this fact remains latent like oil in the gingelly seed. To manifest the Divine within you, you must go through trials and ordeals. Love for God should grow as a result of adversity. Just as gold improves in brilliance the more it is heated in the crucible, your devotion must shine when it goes through a constant purificatory process. Remember, for all the cruelty and violence that we find in the world today, the root cause is selfishness. This must be eradicated. Experience the Love Principle and rid the world of hatred. Once hatred is destroyed, world will be free from violence and strife. Cultivate Selfless Love and manifest love in all your thoughts and actions. You will experience bliss. When you are filled with Love for God, all pains and troubles will be forgotten. To propagate this principle of Divine Love, God descends in human form from time to time.
