________________
love diminishes, the spirit of communication is lacking, even though in the beginning great joy brought them together.
Today, this is not just a talk, not just an intellectual discussion; today we must see how we can bring the spirit of communication with our Self, with our family members and then with the world at large. A person who cannot have love for himself, do you think he has love for the world at large? Or for anybody? A beggar, a pauper cannot give to anybody. The person who has is able to give to others. If we don't have love for our own Self, then how can we give love to somebody else?
Here we are considering what kind of communication do we have in our life. Is it only for money, for wealth, for ornament, for house, for prestige, for popularity? Or, is there communication between person and person?
My friends, the communication starts with one's Self. We commune. We build friendship. We talk to our Self. The spirit of communication needs nurturing. The first thing is TO BE and this is the key of communication; BE TO KNOW what one is and KNOW what one is. TO BE. When we come to our Self, the spark sparkles, we have understanding and the spirit of communication.
