Human values cannot be promoted merely by  repeating the words - Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence. In practicing righteousness, there should be no secret desires. Actions performed with such secret motives result  in bondage. Truth and right conduct should be adhered to with pure  intentions. Both of them are rooted in the Eternal. A righteous life leads to  peace. Love is to be experienced in the depths of peace. Love should find  expression in non-violence. Where love prevails, there is no room for doing harm  or violence to others. All these basic values have to be demonstrated in action  and not limited to preaching.
           - Divine Discourse, September 26, 1987.
