THE MORE SHALL WE LOVE We have to bear in mind that we are…
““THE MORE SHALL WE LOVE We have to bear in mind that we are all debtors to the world, and that the world does not owe us anything. It is a great privilege for all of us to be allowed to do anything for the world. In helping the world we truly help ourselves. This world will always continue to be a mixture of good and evil. Our duty is to help and sympathize with the weak, and to love even the wrongdoer. It is important to always keep in mind that the world is for us a grand moral gymnasium, wherein we are all blessed to be able to take exercise in order to become stronger and stronger spiritually. The result of this exercise is that the more selfless we become, the more we shall love, and the better will be our work.””
