Love is the basis of everything. Like Swami reminds us, in this world, wherever we see, if we carefully observe, only love exists. Everything has emerged from love, and there is no place bereft of love.
Swami's message to the Sai Youth around the world this week:
"First and foremost, you should fill yourselves with love and compassion. And then you should share this love and compassion with everybody. When you light one lamp, through that one lamp you can light many lamps. If you want to get rid of darkness, you can't really destroy it, you have to transform it. When you light a lamp, automatically darkness changes into light. Each of you will have to realise the love in your hearts, and share it with people and establish the same in society."
Yours in His Service
