You cannot build a mighty temple without solid foundations. You cannot build the new heaven and new earth without love, love for one another and love for Me. Love starts in the little things in life and spreads out from there. Sow seeds of love wherever you go, and see them grow and flower and flourish. Seeds of love sown in even the hardest of hearts will start to grow in the end; it may take time for the seeds to germinate, but as they are tended with loving care, they cannot fail to grow. So despair of no one; simply pour forth love unceasingly and harden not your heart. Cease trying to justify yourself or your actions. Cease blaming the other person. Search your own heart, sort yourself out, and find perfect peace of heart and mind. Then you can move anywhere in true freedom and joy, radiating love and more love. There can never be too much love. Let it flow freely.
我無法建造一座宏偉的神殿，如果沒有堅固的地基。我無法建立新的天地，若沒有愛，對彼此的愛，以及對上天的愛。愛從生活中的小事開始，然後從那裡傳播出來。無論我走到哪裡都播下愛的種子，然後看著它們成長、開花、繁榮。愛的種子即使是在最堅硬的心中種下，最終也會開始生長；種子的萌芽可能會需要一些時間，但因它們被愛護照料，所以不會無法成長。因此不要對任何人絕望；僅僅只需將無盡的愛傾注出去，不要讓我的心變得冷硬。停止試圖為我的行為辯解。停止責怪他人。尋找我自己的心，整理我自己，並找到心與意念的完美寧靜。然後我就可以帶著真正的自由與愉悅去任何地方，傳播愛更多的愛。愛永遠不會太多。讓它自由地流動。
