People, today, are making every attempt to be happy, blissful. Where do you get bliss? Is it from the material things of the world, from people, or books? Not at all. Bliss is within one’s own self. You have forgotten your true Self, the source of bliss, and are struggling hard for artificial happiness outside. You are not aware of the reality that lies in the heart. In fact, all the bliss is there. The principle of love originates from the heart, not from the world. Everyone should develop love, more and more. But, today, there is hatred and anger everywhere. Light the lamp of love within, then fear and illusion can be removed, and you can have a vision of the Self. Otherwise, you are bound to suffer.
- Divine Discourse, March 14, 1999.
