'Our task of the day is to find a cure for this major ill of
humanity. The heart of man is so changed. The inner man has to be
transformed.. A direct experience of the Blissful nature of Soul and
the inner man is completely transformed. The mind, experiencing the
Great Bliss, feels satisfaction and this satisfaction of the mind
results in right understanding and virtuous action, kindness, love
and compassion for all
