Passage 7

In English

I am (divine love), and you should hold on to as your method of (selfless service). Soft speech reaches the heart quicker and deeper. Reveal in gentle words the reason why you do not allow certain things to be done or you require certain other things to be done. Win the willing co-operation of people, not their resentful acquiescence. Do not rely on harsh behaviour, or violent means. That is a path into which many slide easily; but, they do not realise that they are ridiculed as alsatians or bull-dogs by those who suffer their attentions. Do not also use your status to show favour to your kinsmen, or friends in any manner. All are your kith and kin, in the Family.
