Consider love as your life and truth as your breath. There is an intimate and inseparable relationship between love and truth. Today, man uses the word ‘love’ without actually knowing its meaning. As he does not know the value and meaning of love, he is utilizing it for trivial and mundane purposes. He is under the mistaken notion that worldly and physical attachment is love and considers such love as his life. True love will reign supreme only when he gets rid of selfishness and develops spirit of sacrifice. Love is God, God is love. But you are craving for worldly love which is bereft of life. You should aspire for divine love which is your very life.

 
Today, there are many who are highly educated. But, of what help are they to society? Practically nothing! They are acquiring degrees for the sake of earning money. They do not serve society with the spirit of love and sacrifice. Love is the very form of Brahman. True spiritual discipline lies in connecting your love with divine love. Your life will be sanctified when you have steady and selfless love”.
