We forget that despite the superficial differences between us, people are equal in their basic wish for peace and happiness.

Genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others happiness.

Sometimes we feel that one individual's action is very insignificant. Then we think, of course, that effects should come from channeling or from a unifying movement. But the movement of the society, community or group of people means joining individuals. Society means a collection of individuals, so that initiative must come from individuals. Unless each individual develops a sense of responsibility, the whole community cannot move. So therefore, it is very essential that we should not feel that individual effort is meaningless- you should not feel that way. We should make an effort.

The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.

I am a steadfast follower of the doctrine of non-violence which was first preached by Lord Buddha, whose divine wisdom is absolute.

Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.

If we want to save the world, we must have a plan. But no plan will work unless we meditate.
