Today there is hatred and anger

everywhere. Wherever you look, there is

desire, enmity, and fear. How do you
expect to be at peace? Light the lamp of
love within. Then fear and illusion will
disappear and you will have the vision of
the Self. Otherwise you are bound to
suffer. Many people make several
attempts today to be happy and blissful.
Where do you get bliss from? Is it in the
material things, in individuals, or in
books? No, not at all! Bliss is within ones
own Self. You have forgotten your true
Self which is the source of bliss and are
struggling hard for artificial happiness
outside. Awaken to the reality that lies
within your heart, which is the seat of all
bliss. The principle of love originates from
within your heart, not from the world.
Develop selfless love more and more, and
exercise a ceiling on your desires. You can
be happy only when your desires are
controlled. [Divine Discourse, Mar 14,
1999]
