Pearls of Wisdom

A person who practices the way of love, contemplation of the inner light and sound, is supposed to grow in love and wisdom. So if we practice the way of love, we should do everything with love. And everything that comes out of love is naturally beautiful and perfect. If you do anything that is not yet perfect, or not yet beautiful, you know that your love has not yet completely developed. You have not completely used the power of love inside you. And that's the way to reflect, and know whether we have progressed or not.

The reason that we help others is to raise the loving atmosphere in this world. We want to symbolically and spiritually raise the energy of this world; bring, spread a loving atmosphere into our planet, so that our world becomes better and better, and there is increasing love among neighbors, and unconditional love for each other. That is the true meaning of charity.
