Man today worships inanimate idols and images but makes no attempt to love his fellow human beings in flesh and blood. This was the first message of Jesus. Though one sees his neighbour every day, he does not choose to love them! How can one believe that such a person can love an invisible God? If you cannot love a fellow human being, visible before your eyes, how can you love what is not visible to you? Not possible! Only one who loves living beings around him can love the invisible Divine. Love must start with love for beings that have form. It must be extended to all beings! This is the primary stage in spirituality. Spirituality does not mean preoccupation with meditation, worship, etc. It involves the total extinction of the animal and demonic qualities in man and the manifestation of his inherent Divinity. When the attachments and hatreds in which man is enveloped are removed, the inherent Divinity in man, the Sat-chit-ananda in him will manifest Itself. – Divine Discourse, Dec 25, 1992
