Thought of the Week

MeditateYou must demonstrate that Love, Peace, Righteousness, Truth and acts of Loving Service, rendered in a spirit of humility and reverence, is what makes people happy.  We need not concentrate on production of more food or building of more houses or manufacturing more cloth. What is most needed today is a total effort to make human beings manifest more tolerance, more humility, more brotherliness, more compassion and deeper awareness of the springs of joy and peace that lie within the heart of each one. Be in the forefront of this spiritual adventure.
