29 JUNE 1982

All of you have worked hard here with love and devotion and I thank you. You must be diligent/persevering/hard working. Lethargy and laziness are bad. An Idle man is like a corpse; only those who work hard are truly alive. To engage in work is the duty of everyone, whether rich or poor, high or low, old or young, man or woman. You should not hesitate to do the lowest kind of service, if it is needed. If a man of high position is prepared to perform any service—even the lowest service—he sets an example for others. By working hard, a man can achieve peace within himself and in the world around him. If everyone works diligently and with love, there will be peace throughout the world.
