“Love itself is the great phenomenon, and it is needed more than ever today because of the huge, catastrophic, destructive forces unleashed upon earth. However, love without self-sacrifice is very limited in its scope; it may even be useless. Therefore, the God-realized person comes to establish centers for the transmissions of love and blessings, and these sacred centers may be called temples, whether there are buildings there or not.”
– Murshid Samuel L. Lewis, “Introduction to Spiritual Brotherhood.”
