I will not bend before any one for anything. I am therefore un-afraid. I bend for Prema, I bend before truth, that is all. Do not worry about worldly comforts and ask Me about those things as if they are all-in-all. Do not waste your precious life-time in distracting doubts about the existence of the Lord in human form, here and now. Cultivate Prema towards all; that is the greatest service you can do to your self for, all others are but you yourself. You too should bend, only before Prema and Sathya, not before hatred and cruelty and falsehood.
