===Quote===
“[[Love]] is the [[essence]] of [[religion]] and the wellspring of superior [[civilization]].” ([[102:6|102:6.3]])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “The above statement is well worth [[pondering]]. Indeed, there cannot be a [[true religion]] — in the unifying sense of the [[word]] — without [[love]]. I am not speaking here of a mere mental [[allegiance]] to what you conceive as love, as love has been greatly misunderstood and thereby desecrated.

“True love is love in [[action]] — not the mere status quo of tolerating others, even though love [[encompasses]] genuine heartfelt [[tolerance]]. Yet, at times, being tolerant of others limits itself to co-habiting peacefully — not going as far as inviting them into your living quarters.

“[[Effective]] religious lives are [[infused]] with Love in Action. They matter, as they leave an uplifting [[emotional]] mark on a multitude of lives. Their [[outreach]] has a ripple effect that [[invigorates]] other [[hearts]] and inspires them to partake in a beautiful [[chain reaction]] of positive and constructive actions.

“Love HAS TO BE [[respectful]]. If it lacks this element, it is not Love. Period. On the other hand, such a respect-infused Love acts as a [[heart]] opener. Surely, you have personally experienced how instantly disrespect slams the door of your heart shut as a [[protective]] measure.

“It is much advisable in these [[chaotic]] times to [[examine]] your ‘love life’. Religion can act as its [[cradle]]; yet, it has to ‘transpire’ in all areas of the human [[experience]] — from the [[family]] unit to the [[civilization]].

“Sadly, the two most essential elements of a [[religious experience]] are often missing. You may love your [[kin]]. What about your [[enemies]]? Are you [[tolerant]] or intolerant toward them? Do you [[respect]] them or do you drag them in the mud of your sarcastic, disparaging, and disrespectful demeanors?

“How could [[Christianity]] exert any force of [[attraction]] if it is devoid of the [[love]] and respect that should be its trademark?
===Closing===
“Dear ones, do not [[emulate]] others’ intransigent [[behaviors]], thus allowing them to mold your own. Remain in your [[integrity]] and keep [[advocating]] Love in Action by being respectfully loving. It is as [[simple]] as that! Yet, even though it is your true [[nature]], it takes much [[practice]] to [[awaken]] these dormant attributes — [[attributes]] that, once activated, have the [[power]] to upgrade your [[civilization]]. Indeed, the united forces of Love in Action are unstoppable and will claim [[victory]] in the days of [[Light of Life]].”
