“If in future, there is a Third World War, let it not be a
war between countries, but rather a war against our
common enemy, poverty.

In today’s world, people experience two types of
poverty: the poverty caused by lack of food, clothing
and shelter; and the poverty caused by lack of love and
compassion.

Of these two, the second type needs to be considered
first—because, if we have love and compassion in
our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who
suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter.”
