Embodiments of love! Take note of the fact that the rapid passage of time is consuming man's life-span at a rapid pace like the melting of an iceberg. The end comes even before man realizes his role in life. It would be a shame if human life is wasted in this manner.
Man suffers from numerous ills because he has not understood the purpose of life. The first thing he has to realize is that God is One, by whatever name and in whatever form the Divine is worshipped. The One chose to become the many. "God is One. The wise hail Him by many names." It is the imagination of the observers which accounts for the apparent multiplicity of the One Divine. The sun is only one but his reflections appear in a myriad vessels. Likewise God is present in the hearts of different beings in varied forms and natures.
