Shanti or Peace denotes the capacity to bear success and failure, joy and misery, defeat and victory, with perfect equanimity. And, Prema or Love is the quality of Sarvasamaanatha (equality of every one), of not only Ahimsa (non-violence) but the conscious acceptance of the duty of love, because every being is a spark of Divinity, as much of a spark as you yourself.

- Divine Discourse, December 6, 1963.
