Love cannot compromise with negativity

August 28, 1973

Wherever you see the negativity, you have to stand up and say, “This is negativity and nothing else, whether you like it or not.” In that, you love that person, you don’t hate. Only talking sweetly is not the idea of love. No, a mother sometimes even scolds the child. Doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love him. If it is necessary, you have to tell the person that it is negativity. Of course, if there’s a realized person, he won’t mind any correction, because he wants the correction, he knows that it has to be corrected. The instrument has to be corrected. But a person who doesn’t understand, you have to force your love on that person. You can force that love, you know that — sitting down here. Many people have tried putting love around certain people who were trying to be mischievous — and they have been able to achieve great results. Those people have turned back and come back. Only by putting your hand and putting your attention on that person and moving this hand like this, the love encircles, and the person comes back.
