Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love.

O Seekers of Truth and Strength, hear the words of Nelson Rockefeller, who speaks of the greatest force that governs the universe: "Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love." In this profound truth, Rockefeller reveals a power more enduring than any weapon, more transformative than any empire—love. It is a force that transcends time, space, and human frailty. The very essence of creation, it binds us to one another, propels us toward greatness, and lifts us in times of trial. While nations may rise and fall, while armies may clash and kingdoms may crumble, the force of love endures, shaping the course of history and the fate of mankind.

Consider, O Children, that love is the energy that binds us all. It is not merely a feeling of affection or attachment, but a universal force that drives compassion, sacrifice, and courage. It is through love that the greatest deeds are accomplished—not through the desire for personal gain, but through the willingness to put another’s well-being above our own. The power of love moves the hearts of those who are willing to sacrifice all for others, and it is this very force that can heal wounds, reconcile enemies, and unite a fractured world.

Look to the example of Mahatma Gandhi, who, in the face of great oppression, wielded the power of love to free an entire nation. He led India’s nonviolent movement for independence not with the sword, but with the enduring strength of love for his people and his belief in the dignity of all. Gandhi’s love for justice, for truth, and for humanity was his weapon, and it led India to freedom. In his words and deeds, he demonstrated that love is not passive—it is an active, forceful power capable of changing the world.

And so, O Seekers, let us understand that love is the force that underpins the noblest actions and the greatest achievements. It is more powerful than the greatest armies or the most brilliant minds, for it is the force that binds the hearts of people together. It is love that moves us to create, to build, to help, and to serve. When we act from a place of love, we tap into the most potent force on earth, one that cannot be defeated or overcome by any power that seeks to divide or destroy.

Let us, therefore, never forget that love is the true source of strength. Whether we are facing personal trials or the trials of our world, love is the force that will carry us through. It is not the might of arms, nor the wealth of kingdoms, but the power of a heart committed to goodness, compassion, and unity that will create lasting peace and progress. In this truth, we find our greatest potential—love, the force that binds us together and moves the world forward. May we carry this wisdom in our hearts, for in love, we find the truest and most lasting power.
