HUMAN VALUES

What is the main reason for the well being of the society? Our actions are the very cause. What is the reason for our actions? Actions result from our thoughts. What is the reason for action? The mind. What is the cause of the mind? Sankalpa - thought is the cause of the mind. If the thoughts are pure, the country will also become pure. We have to inculcate ideas, which are pure and good. These are human values.

What are these values? These are "Truth(sathya), Right Action (dharma), Peace (shanti), Love (prema) and Non-violence (ahimsa)". These five human values should be deemed as the fivefold life breaths or Pancha Pranas (Prana, Apana, Udhana, Samana, Vyaana - the incoming, outgoing, upward flow, even and circulating breaths). Since the values constitute the life breath, one who does not radiate the values in his actions is deemed to be lifeless!
What is this truth? Those words, which you speak with love, are truth. That which comes from the heart filled with love is truth. All that you do from a heart filled with love is dharma - righteousness. The heart, which is full of love in whatever it thinks, is peace. Then whatever actions you do with a heart filled with love is ahimsa - non-violence. So love is the foundation for all these. There is no life whatsoever without love. So one has to foster this love.
Start the Day with Love;Spend the Day with Love;Fill the Day with Love;End the Day with Love;This is the way to God

When the impulses arising from the heart are expressed in words, that is Truth (Sathya). To put into action your words is Right Action (Dharma). For all these Love is primary. Love in action is righteousness. Love in speech is truth. Love in thought is peace. Love in understanding is non-violence. When you realize that God is in everyone, you will practice non-violence.
Love in Thought is Truth.Love in Action is Right Conduct.Love in Understanding is Peace.Love in Feeling is Non-violence.

Truth is man's nature; to be untrue is to be false to one's nature. Dharma is the practical application in real life of the ideal of Truth. Shanthi is the result of Dharma and Prema is the effulgence of Shanthi. Truth in words and truth and love in the heart is Dharma.
Prema is the manner of speaking; Truth is the substance; Dharma is the language; Santhi is the result aimed at.

Sathya is what I teach;Dharma is the way I live;Shanti is the mark of My personality;Prema is my very Nature.
Sadhana leads to TruthSatkarma leads to DharmaBhakti leads to PeaceUpasana leads to Love.
-Bhagavan Baba

I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster.

I have come not to disturb or destroy any faith, but to confirm each in his own faith - so that the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Muslim, a better Muslim, and the Hindu, a better Hindu.

There is only one religion, the religion of Love;There is only one language, the language of the Heart;There is only one caste, the caste of Humanity; There is only one law, the law of Karma;There is only one God, He is Omnipresent.

Start the Day with Love;Spend the Day with Love;Fill the Day with Love;End the Day with Love;This is the way to God.

Love in thought is Truth;Love in action is Right Conduct;Love in understanding is Peace;Love in feeling is Non-Violence.

Honor all religions. Each is a pathway to God
You cannot see Me, but I am the Light you see by.You cannot hear Me, but I am the Sound you hear by.You cannot know Me, but I am the Truth by which you live.
The Lord will be watching with a thousand eyes the least activity of man to discover any slight trace of selfless love sweetening it.

Bear all and do nothing;Hear all and say nothing;Give all and take nothing;Serve all and be nothing.

Make your life a rose that speaks silently in the language of the heart.
Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.
Learn to give, not to take. Learn to serve, not to rule.
The Grace of God is like insurance. It will help you in your time of need without any limit.
Action with Love is Right Conduct.Speak with Love and it becomes Truth.Thinking with Love results in Peace.Understanding with Love leads to non-violence.
Yesterday has deceived you and gone, tomorrow is a doubtful visitor. Today is a fast friend, hold fast to it.

Wealth that you hoard is not yours, wealth that you have given is really yours.
Your virtue is your shield, your vice is the weapon that inflicts wounds on you.
If there is righteousness in the heart,There will be beauty in the character.If there is beauty in the character,There will be harmony in the home.When there is harmony in the home,There will be order in the nation.When there is order in the nation,There will be peace in the world.
Children of Immortality! Remember that You are created in My Image and Likeness. Perfect. Live up to this Image in all planes. Live like Masters! Walk this Earth with Your Heads held high, Your Spirits soaring, Your Hearts open to Love, and believe in Yourself and GOD with You. Then all will go well. See Me everywhere, talk to Me and Love Me who is in Each. Then from Each I will respond and bring You into Glory.
