“One of the greatest problems facing humanity is that of meaning. Almost anybody who a little intelligence are feeling that life is meaningless. And to feel that life is meaningless is a dangerous situation.
Then the questions naturally and inevitably occur; why go on living and for what? Man has for the first time become a little affluent, so now the problem has occurred, at least in the Western countries, that we have enough to eat and our physical needs are fulfilled, and we have time to think about significant matters. We are not totally occupied with survival. And this give us time to think about significant matters: what is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Why do we go on existing?
Unless love becomes our experience, life will remain meaningless. The future of humanity depends on solving this problem. If love happens, life becomes so full, that one would like to live and one would like others to live.
Only love is the hope for the future of humanity. Hence the life of a seeker of love and truth has to be grounded in love. If you can feel the meaning of life through love, you can trigger the process in others.
When you have the light of love within your heart, you can share your light with others, who are in immense need. There is still a chance for humanity, there is still hope for humanity to be saved.”
