Paramacharya Sri Chandrasekhara Saraswati of Kanci Kamakoti Pitham said, in response to Sri Paul Duke's question as to what would be the message from His Holiness which will be carried to the West, "In all that you do, let love be the sole motive. Any deed must be with reference to another. Action implies the acted-upon as much as the agent. Let action be out of love. I am not here referring to the Gandhian gospel of ahimsa. There may be situations which demand violent action. Punishment, for instance, may be necessary. Even wars may have to be wagaed. But whatever be the nature of the action, the agent must act out of love. Passions such as desire and hatred, anger and malice must be totally eschewed. If love becomes the guiding principle of all deeds, then most of the ills of the world will vanish".
