I can do what my energy, my time, to my other sort of commitment. And then also emotional, religious harmony.

Try to remain truthful. The power of truth never declines. Force and violence may be effective in the short term, but in the long run it's truth that prevails.

We all have the potential to show others love and affection, but as we progress in our materialistic world, these values tend to remain dormant. We can develop them on the basis of common sense, common experience and scientific findings. The response to the recent tragedy in the Philippines is an example of how such values are awakened; people helped simply because others are suffering and in need of support.

A heart full of love and compassion is the main source of inner strength, willpower, happiness, and mental tranquility

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.

Disagreement is something normal.

Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and look back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
