Srimati Karuna will share an audio recording of “The Salt of the Earth” on Sunday, May 3, 2020.

You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world.
Let them see your good works and give glory to God.

This message from the Sermon on the Mount may guide our thought, word and deed in the direction of goodness. Often, we struggle to see the good acts that people do. When we become overwhelmed by the harmful and negative actions of fellow beings on this earth, let us remember Gandhi's words:

"Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
