<strong>The</strong> love that God bears to you or that you bear to God is not so transient<br />

or egoistic. God will never give you up, nor should you ever give<br />

up your hold on God. 10.10.70, (21-328/330)<br />

When an atomic bomb is exploded thous<strong>and</strong>s of miles away in some<br />

far-off country by America or Russia the fall-out travels all over the<br />

world <strong>and</strong> contaminates the atmosphere, poisons vegetation <strong>and</strong> distorts<br />

life. <strong>The</strong> vibrations of hatred <strong>and</strong> greed, of pride <strong>and</strong> envy that result<br />

from the shouts <strong>and</strong> discontent of animosity also pollute the air<br />

equally seriously.<br />

Man exhibits great mental <strong>and</strong> physical courage on the battle-fields<br />

<strong>and</strong> during adventures on l<strong>and</strong>, sea <strong>and</strong> air. Historically he has<br />

evinced, vast resources of courage inside himself, to meet all varieties<br />

of obstacles. But the courage to give up entanglement with the material<br />

world is a great achievement. 22.11.70, (21-389/390)<br />

All are eager to take, none is earnest about giving. <strong>The</strong> reason is absence<br />

of love, love that transcends caste, creed, colour, <strong>and</strong> fences<br />

erected by man between man. Fill the heart with love, <strong>and</strong> distribute<br />

that love to all. Love grows with every gift of love; the heart that pours<br />

out love is ever full. God is there as love <strong>and</strong> you are only drawing on<br />

him, when you are sharing love with others. (...)<br />

<strong>The</strong>re must be wholehearted co-operation <strong>and</strong> faith. Doctor members<br />

must visit the slum areas once a week; they must be at the consulting<br />

centre, at the same time, every week. Be punctual <strong>and</strong> regular, sweet<br />

<strong>and</strong> courteous. If you talk with a smile, the tablet will act more efficiently.<br />

Lawyers can help them, by drafting documents according to rules;<br />

now, most of litigation is due to faulty drafting. <strong>The</strong>y can also point out<br />

to the villages <strong>and</strong> the poor how the various Governmental agencies<br />

are prepared to help them; they can instruct them about the methods<br />

of securing that help. Ignorance of the assistance offered is leading<br />

many grants to lapse, <strong>and</strong> many a good intention to evaporate into<br />

nothing. (...)<br />

Do not feel that I am a stranger, doling out advice. All are mine, those<br />

who serve <strong>and</strong> those who accept service. I belong to all. Like flowers<br />

of many species <strong>and</strong> colours <strong>and</strong> fragrances, you have come together<br />

to make up a garl<strong>and</strong>, for the adoration of God. Fulfil that great mission.<br />

That is my blessing to you today. 18.1.71, (21-460/462)<br />

Not only India, but the whole world is today in the throes of anxiety <strong>and</strong><br />
