Once you take on the Name of the Lord which sweetness itself, it will awaken all the sweetness latent in you; when you have tasted the joy, you can never for a moment exist without that sustenance. It becomes as essential as air for the lungs. (SSS Vol.2, p. 7)

Truth and discipline, which are essential to good living, have become scarce. Devotion and self-confidence, which should be the primary ideals in our conduct, have disappeared. Moreover, desires devoid of responsibilities, have flourished. Forbearance is the primary feature our lives. We should be interested to cultivate respect for truth. In our culture, respect for one’s mother is regarded as even greater than one’s own life. (SSB 1973, p. 1)
