That's going to be don't just celebrate my birthday. What's important is the change coming in our own hearts, and not just Swami's birthday. But having said that, we celebrate Swami's birthday, of course, to show our love for Swami, and also to help us realize the awakening of love within us. Because Swami has said himself that the day we awaken the lamp of love in our hearts is the day that we truly become one with him. In July, when our youth group went and were fortunate enough to have an interview with Swami, Swami told our youths, he said, love, love, love, come what may, just love. We even asked him, what if people are bad to us and they're evil to us and they take advantage of us because of our love? What do we then do? And Swami said, Just keep loving anyway. Within a few days, they will change. He actually he told us this sort of face to face, and Swami even went on to say that it's only because of love that everything in this world is cured. And he he told us love is the world's greatest medicine. And so today on our beloved Swami's birthday. quick short message just to remind all of us, including myself, that come what may, it's easy to love in our hall here, but when we leave the Theosophical House and we're walking down George Street back to our offices, someone accidentally bumps us, can we still have that feeling of love? This is what Swami expects of us more than anything. Sai Ram. Sai Ram.
