Though, I am here bodily, still I know what you do; beyond the seven seas. Go wherever you will, over the wide world, I am with you. My abode is in your heart and I am within you. Always worship Me, Who is seated in your heart, as well as in the hearts of all beings.
The heart with compassion is the temple of God.
Of these five vital principles, Love is the foremost. It is Love that flows as the under-current for the other four values. How does it flow this way? When Love is associated with our thoughts, it manifests itself as Truth. When Love is associated with feelings, it produces Peace. When Love animates actions, it results in Right Action. When Love is combined with understanding it becomes Non-violence. Therefore whenever you feel angry, think of love, develop thoughts of love in your heart. You will have peace.
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations. When there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world.
The Avatar is a child to the children, a boy to the boys, a man among men, a woman among women, so that the Avatar's message might reach each heart and receive enthusiastic response as Ananda. It is the compassion of the Avatar that prompts His every action.
Prayer must emanate from the heart, where God resides, and not from the head where doctrines and doubts clash.
You are seeking joy and peace in far-off places. But the spring of joy is in your heart. The haven of peace is in yourself.
Sathya, Dharma, Shanghai and prema are the hall-marks of a purified heart, a heart where God is enshrined and is manifest.
