• All people, the religious and the atheists
alike, shall try to realize the high ideal of the poet
Kumaranasan, who wrote, ‘’love is the essence of
everything on earth.’’ All shall practise the religion
of love.
• A new world of love shall be created where
humans shall renounce selfishness and love
one another and participate in acts of love and
merciful deeds.
• During the days of French Revolution it was
Voltaire who said, "I will fight for your right
to say what you consider just although I know
for certain that what you say is wrong.'' But
fundamen talists do not, in the least, appreciate
this attitude. If this freedom is to be of an
essential feature of the current century, everyone
should be taught the absolute need
for individual freedom, which is an integral
part of human right. Freedom is not license
to sin.
• St. Paul says, love is the fruit of the Holy Spirit
(Galatians 5:22). This love is holy, free and
compromises all other fruits of the Holy Spirit.
This religion of love involves divinity and unity
and justice. This is not limited by nationalism.
It is global in nature and should participate
in every virtue.
• It is to be admitted that different religious
faiths exist in the world. But even as they exist,
each religion shall be drawn to the religion
of love. As a result, there shall be no more
religious conflicts, and very soon the whole
world shall share love, as the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit share love. The world shall
be one nest, one family. Love should prevail
in families in villages and cities, and in nations
and at the international plane. All shall
have absolute faith in the new religion of love
in the current century. "Different dogmas, but
one Love.''
