True spirituality alone can rescue mankind from the distress that the world is being subjected to by the greed and selfishness of man. Religion alone, if understood and practiced rightly, is capable of moulding the moral fibre of man.
A life of virtue, goodness, forbearance, sacrifice, tolerance and live is the only assurance of peace and happiness to both the individual and the world at large. This must be understood by everyone. Religiosity is not spirituality. One may be formally religious and yet possess a negative character. Therefore, the practice of spirituality in the right sense of the term is of great importance.
Pray: “May we all work together harmoniously in peace, with the spirit of self-sacrifice for the well-being and solidarity of the world! May we all possess an understanding and forgiving heart, broad tolerance and adaptability! Grant us that eye with which we will behold the Self everywhere.”
