It is time to help others
A global crisis reveals our shared humanity and calls for immediate, compassionate action.
A pandemic has caused widespread suffering. Governments and individuals are striving to respond. This is a time for practical help, not hesitation. Meditation and prayer are valuable, but tangible support for neighbors, the elderly, and children is the greatest necessity. Distinctions of religion, nationality, or wealth must be abandoned for a spirit of oneness. The elderly are our roots and deserve the same care we give to children. Action cannot be postponed. True spirituality is expressed through selfless service to all beings, recognizing the divine unity in everyone.
"Meditation is good, prayer is great, but what is needed just now? That we can help—that is the biggest and greatest."
"We should not say this God or that God or this religion. No. We should give equally to everyone."
