(Prem Rawat) This is the time to think about a new world. A world in which we care for each other. A world in which the heart means something. A world where we mean something. A world where kindness has a value. Not “money, money, money” but kindness has a value.

Because if we are incapable of creating a world like that, most of us won’t survive this. It’s going to be required that there is kindness, that there is understanding amongst us for a world, for a better world, for a brighter world in which we all move together going forward. It’s not too late. And such a world is possible.

This is not a question of “That’s impractical.” It’s now an issue of “If that doesn’t happen, it’s going to be a real problem.”

It’s a lot of poor people, a lot of poor people, countries like India, countries like Africa, in the African continent. So many countries. So many people. So many people.

And you, as a human being, are part of it. You’re a part of it. Your heart, your want, your fulfillment, your understanding – you’re a part of it.

An excerpt:

Jeremy Gilley:

Can I just talk to you about a couple of things, then, just to help me—and maybe it helps some others. Can you just talk to me a little bit about the importance of family?

And, when I think about the world and I think about peace, I think about my family. And if my family’s together and if we can do that on a global scale, then we’d sort of create world peace.

Can you just tell me about the importance of us really holding ourselves together?

Prem Rawat:

Well, a family is that unit that’s a bumper in the front, so when a blow comes, it can soften it. The family is the nourishing, nurturing—somebody who can understand when nobody else will understand you—more than your friends.

And obviously, somebody who can give you advice, even at the peril of your anger, and give you good advice.

A family is you in another form. It's like, not just one flower, but a tree that flowers—that's a family. Look at the nature. It's not about just one flower. A plant will not just be satisfied with one flower—another one, another one, another one, another one, and before you know it, it's a family.

And its mission, its job, its purpose, whatever it is in this world, will be fulfilled far greater and far more beautifully when it is flowering, and there are a whole bunch of flowers on that plant, not just one flower.

Jeremy Gilley:

Yeah. Amazing, amazing. And that, on Peace Day 21st of September, one of the things that we've always said is like, "You know, well, what can I do?"

I'm like, "Well, you know, bring the family together. You know, bring the family together; be one on that day" with the sort of global family, and also the ones that we have. And so, hopefully, we’ll see a lot of that, you know, going on on the day.

So, a little bit about love. And I was sort of just thinking at the weekend, you know. I was with my little girl, I just adore her, right? My entire existence, nothing comes first.

You know, when I'm with her, there's no— it's about Rose; it's not about the work, right? It has to be, and it has to be that way for me, and I love it.

How do I contain it, you know? I mean, I love her so much. I kind of just sort of want to do everything. I mean, have you ever sort of felt that?

Have you—if you have any sort of words of wisdom for us, you know, both in terms of personal relationships or with family relationships? When you love so much, you know, it can kind of almost sometimes be too much.

Prem Rawat:

It never is.

Jeremy Gilley: It never is? Okay, great.

Prem Rawat:

It never can be. It can never be. Stop thinking; start loving. Don't think about love. Feel the love in your life. It's a gift. It always won’t be the same. It won't.

It changes. You will change, and one day you won't be here. So, love like there is no tomorrow. Stop thinking about what it all means; start loving. If we did that, this world would be a different place today.

Jeremy Gilley:

Fantastic.

(Prem Rawat) You live in a world where you are in debt. And you need to go to work every single day, not for you! But for other people who you have borrowed the money from to have your house, to afford that vacation, to maybe even afford the husband or wife that you have.

And every day you go because you owe! You owe; you owe; you owe; you owe; you owe. You go to a super-store; you go to the supermarket. You buy a banana, one banana, and you are in debt.

Because you can’t pay for it in cash; you pay for it with the credit card. And as soon as you pay for it with the credit card, you’re in debt till the bill comes and you pay it. Then you’ll be relieved of it. This is the world we live in. How did we get here?! Is this right? Is that how it should be?!

That you pursue nothing else – except every single day, you worry about paying off your debt. You need to work every single day so you can pay your debt. This will bring your food home; this will make sure you have a house, and this will make sure you have a car; this will make sure you have a wife; this will make sure you have a dog; this, you’ll have a cat; you have a – everything.

You go to debt; you go in debt to feed your cat, to feed your dog, to feed your fish! You go in debt to clean … . To buy the materials that will clean your toilet, you go in debt. You go in debt to buy the toothpaste that can clean your teeth! You go in debt to buy clothes that will keep you warm!

You are not indebted to the one who you should be indebted to – that power, that beauty that comes and fills you – that gives you the gift of life, free: not being in debt. No debt. Just gratitude, “Thank you.” You got a gift that is given to you every single day, without incurring any debt. Free.

Prem Rawat: There are people on the face of this earth who are very rich. There are people on the face of this earth who are very poor! There are people who are very educated; there are people who are not very educated. There are people who are very nice! There are people who are not very nice.

But what do we all share in common? I’ll tell you what we share in common. And there is no exception, no exception whatsoever. One day we came in this world; one day we have to go from this world, regardless of who we are.

So, now that we have established those two points, (the beginning and the end), this defines this period of time that we have on the face of this earth. And this time that we have between those two points of when we came, to when we have to go, it’s called “life.”

And here is something that I would like to tell you. Contrary to what you may believe—contrary to what you may believe, you and you alone are responsible for what happens between the two points. (Oops. I said something really intense, didn’t I? Whoa.)

Even if you lived between those two points for a hundred years, that’s only 36,500 days. Thirty-six thousand five hundred days? You have time for gadgets? Do you really have time to go around and go in “envy mode?” Do you really have the opportunity or the luxury of FOMO? (Fear of missing out?)

Even if you are ninety-eight years old, your scale should not change. Your scale should still say, “How happy was I today?” Not “How fried I am today.” “How happy was I today? How much peace did I feel today?”

This could be in the worst of the circumstances. “How fortunate did I feel today”; these are the tools you need to start gathering the good. Because you ask, “What is wrong,” right? You ask “What is wrong?” Your whole focus is “Something is wrong. What is wrong? What’s, what’s wrong?!”

You don’t come into a circumstance going “What is right?” What is right? Look at what is right. Even in the direst circumstances, you are not abandoned. There’s an incredible thing happening. Only happens once.

Never since the history of this creation was there one like you. No one. You’re it. You’ve got to take care of yourself. Because never again for as long as this earth is going to be, there is ever going to be another like you.

Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, you are irreplaceable. Seven-point-nine billion people, (actually, it’s 7.89 but they rounded it off), 7.9 billion people on the face of this earth. And you are unique. Capture that. Capture that uniqueness. Take pride in that uniqueness. Don’t try to be “normal.” Be who you are, the exception to the 7.9 billion people; you’re the exception.
