The Panel Conference

Love and Fearlessness

Kaka Sahib Kalelkar, one of the closet associates of Mahatma Gandhi, shares his thoughts

Our great strength must be Love which is fearless non-violent Love. It is time the world was viewed as a great family; I think it is ripe for the establishment of a familyhood of all religions, all cultures, and all races. If it doesn’t come about, a world war mat well happen; and with the present development of science it could be an unprecedented disaster.

Sant Kirpal Singh Ji is doing this work that of making all religions and races one – and as a humble servant of Mahatma Gandhi, I congratulate Him for organising this conference. Now we have to establish that familyhood – through Love, complete fearlessness. If we want to establish peace, we have to work for others. Sant Ji wants to give thought to these things, and to do service for the whole world. We are in a country where people of all races and religions are gathered together. We must love each other. All our energy should be saved for actual work.

We invite Muslims, not as Hindus, but as members of one human family. We should have hope for our towns and villages. In the villages, people do not understand economics; but they understand religion and they understand culture that has been the tradition of our country. We must now have a great organisation and go to the villages and tell the people the central part of their religion is to love others. We must ourselves stop hating others and start loving; mere speaking won’t do. Under Sant Ji initiative and guidance, we should have small groups all over the world; we should, as members of the same family, build a new culture, a new civilisation.

Science is very useful, because scientists worship truth. We want to make science more spiritual, and only Saints can do it.

So I express my gratitude to Sant Ji for organising this international conference. I belonged to Mahatma Gandhi’s group; I was vice chancellor of the university started by him, and worked under him for 50 years. Sant Ji Maharaj is doing the same work which Gandhi Ji asked to do – establish harmony and Unity of Man. Religions are different but we are all bound together by Love. My definition of Love means fearlessness you don’t threaten anybody and you don’t fear anybody.
