Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.

Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.

Our world and our lives have become increasingly interdependent, so when our neighbour is harmed, it affects us too. Therefore we have to abandon outdated notions of 'them' and 'us' and think of our world much more in terms of a great 'US', a greater human family.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience. On the other hand, if someone is suffering from depression, anxiety, or any form of emotional distress, then even if he or she happens to be enjoying physical comforts, he will not really be able to experience the happiness that these could bring.

All religions are essentially the same in their goal of developing a good human heart so that we may become better human beings.
