. . . meekness,love, purity, these are the things that should magnify us.

We would have said the Nazis were evil in any event, since we had decided to fight them. This has always been the style in war, until very recently...in order that we can be frenzied on the battlefield. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that our German enemies really were satanic this time...We had fought something which was totally obscene.This was very bad for us... One idea put into our heads was that our enemies were so awful, so evil, that we, by contrast, must be remarkably pure. That illusion of purity...has become our curse today.

A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.

At the root of all this is purity. Where there is purity there love grows. When purity and love come together, there is bliss (Ananda).

It was the purest love without purpose other than love itself. Without tenure or jealousy.

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver
