The Essence of Love and Union
Birthdays and festivals are merely symbolic occasions for union; the reality is our gathering here. Love is life and life is love. With love, everything is happy; without it, everyone is unhappy. Every creature seeks love, which exists where there is harmony, understanding, tolerance, and compromise. Love creates a healthy, long-lasting situation; it unites, while ignorance and hate divide. This is the love you need.
"Love is life and life is love."
"Love unites, and ignorance divides; hate divides, and that kind of love you all need."
