My brothers, like you, I have had many experiences in my life. Life is a struggle, but if you have faith and confidence, and if we believe in God, we make our decisions with deep belief, and we will come through. Difficulties are the best schools where we can learn. God is always with us, and He will always help us. Let Him decide how it will be. I have traveled 39 times around the world, and I have seen this beautiful planet, beautiful people, animals, and beautiful nature. I know there can be moments of difficulty, but those arise from ignorance, from my own lack of understanding. Yet I love all, and everywhere I go, I find love, respect, and understanding. So that is my life experience. I achieved a lot through the support and love of God and all my friends. Many changes are going on in the world, like climate change, wars, and so on. Mahātmā Gandhījī—and I am happy that this interview is being done right now in the ashram of Mahātmā Gandhījī in Sabarmati, Ahmedabad—Gandhījī said, "Renounce, we have too many things. Lead the simple life, simple living and higher thinking, and be the change you want to see." These are the words of Mahātmā Gandhījī. It means Gandhījī said, "Mother Earth has enough for our needs, but not for our greed." We shall give up greed, protect our nature, try to plant more and more trees, keep our rivers and lakes clean, and try to lead a very natural, simple life and a vegetarian life so that we can save our planet. So I pray with this, my dear brothers and sisters, in the name of God, in the name of our children, and in the name of all the divines, that we live all together in harmony, in love, and in understanding. May we never fight because of different religions. May we never fight because of our different nationalities. May we never fight because of different skin colors or languages. Instead, let us love each other as children of one planet, Mother Earth, and as one God’s children. We are one, we are not two, and ultimately we will merge into the oneness. So thank you very much, and God bless you. God loves you also, and God loves me too. I pray for you. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Peace is the way; there is no way to peace, Gandhījī said. So let us live in peace.
