“Only love can be just. Love cannot be unjust, because love means compassion. Love means consideration of the other. Love cannot use the other as a means. To use the other as a means is the only immoral thing in existence. The moment you respect the other as an end unto himself love has arisen in you. Love cannot exploit, cannot oppress and cannot dominate. Without love one is bound to be unjust. Justice come like a shadow of love. But everything begins with meditation. Meditation triggers many processes in you. Meditation opens many new dimensions in you. One of these dimensions is love. And love is followed by justice. Love is followed by a friendliness towards all. Love is followed by prayerfulness, a gratitude towards existence. A man who know love becomes a blessing both towards himself and to others.”

That once, value was ascribed to some people, and not others. That once, humanity was acknowledged for some, and not others.”

“Everything around us belongs to God's jurisdiction and is part of the Universe. None of it is 'ours' and we leave it all behind in an instant when we exit this mortality. This is why we learn nothing of eternal value from making a self-indulgent fling out of our mortal sojourn. Rather, it is our sacred privilege and responsibility to treat all people and everything on this earth with love, gratitude, and respect and to seek God rather than mammon. This intent is what transforms mortality into an extraordinary spiritual education!”
