How does love transform us from being a human just in form to a true human? Bhagawan lovingly explains with a simple example.

When you say, ‘I am man’, it is in reality a half-truth. The other half of the truth is that you are ‘not animal’. Truth is complete when you conjoin these two statements. Man must prove himself as different from other animals by avoiding violence, ignorance, and inertness. Look at this. This is a rose. A real rose. Therefore, no one needs to specially invite a bee to reach this rose. It comes on its own. But, does the bee approach a plastic rose? Similarly, only when there are human thoughts in the heart one can be recognised as man. Otherwise, he is only a human-figure, or an artificial man or robot. We are after ‘art’ while forgetting the ‘heart’. In fact, art must come from the heart. Therefore, it is said, love is God. The form of God is love. He is the abode of love. When a man keeps this God of love in his heart, can he resort to violence? Such a heart develops fear of sin. Love of God and fear of sin are like twins. Along with them, it is necessary to develop social ethos, or morality. This morality is the sheet anchor of our nation.
