Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony.
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
Mankind is a great, immense family… This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.

There’s nothing more advanced than relating with others. There’s nothing more advanced than communication – compassionate communication.
Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.
Begin with yourself. There is no time to waste. It is your duty to do your part to bring God’s kingdom on earth.
