4. Truth, Goodness, Beauty
Let Heaven Descend in Life
The attainment of heaven after death is not so important. as the bringing down of heaven on the stage of life. If you want to bring about the desired change in the life to come, the prerequisite for it is to introduce the same change in your present life.
Struggle and Co-operation
The progress of the human race depends not on struggle but on co-operation, not on competition but on co-ordination, not on animosity but on love. Our future: depends upon our mutual co-operation and brotherhood. Peace and goodwill can be promoted in the world in proportion to the development of fraternal feelings and co-operation between man and man over the entire face of the earth.
Truth
Truth is a penance, a hard penance. The path of truth is sharp like the edge of the sword. While treading on the path of truth, one should not be swayed to one side or the other, nor should one halt on the way. One must keep on marching steadily, step by step, towards his.
