Human Values is Essential for World Peace
1. A man has two types of qualities - internal and external. Evil qualities like desire, anger, greed, delusion, pride and jealousy are external, while values such as truch, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence are internal. Man should internalise his vsion and develop vision of the Self.
2. Where there are truth and righteousness, there will be peace. When we have peace, love will flow within us. Then there will be no room for violence in us. Man should put is his best efforts to develop his innate human qualities. Truth is eternal and indestructible. It is neither born nor does it die. When you adhere to truth, you will lead the right path.
3. What you feel in your heart, you should speak with your tongue. When you speak with your tongue, you should put into action. Man should broaden his heart. First and foremost, develop truth in your heart and establish it firmly. When you plant truth in your heart, offshoots of Dharma will issue from it. With the growth of Dharma, you will attain peace. When you have peace. your love will become broad and universal. Then the difference of mine and thine will disappear and love will reign supreme everywhere. As a result, violence will disappear from the face of the earth.
4. To be born is a worry, to be on the earth is a worry; world is a cause of worry and death too; entire childhood is a worry and so is the old age; life is a worry, failure is a worry; all actions and difficulties cause worry; even happiness too is a mysterious worry. Devotion to God alone will put an end to all your worries. Develop such devotion and love in God.
5. Develop love for God to get rid of your worries. This is the divine cure for all your worries. Chanting the name of God can bring all types of worries to an end.

Help Ever Hurt Never
1. Truth has no form, whatever we see is the truth. Truth is the manifestation of Brahman. Truth is one but not two. But one has to make an effort to realise the truth. Truth assumes infinite forms. Similarly, Brahman assumes infinite number of forms. Yet, Brahman is one only, that is why it is said "Brahma sathyam Jagan mithya" (Brahman alone is real, the world is a mistaken perception). Everything else is the reflection of Brahman, nothing else.
2. Truth is one, yet it is called by different names and assumes many different forms. Everything in this universe is born out of truth. Dharma (righteousness) has emerged out of Sathya. Sathyannasti Paro Dharma (There is no Dharma greater than adherence to truth). When truth and righteousness unite, peace is the result. From peace comes love. This love envelopes one and all. There is no place in this world where love is not present. Similarly, there is no place in this world where truth is not present.
3. Try to protect the poor, provide succour to them by giving them food, shelter, water and make them happy. Help ever, Hurt never.

Truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence are the natural qualities of a human being.
