Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you

Mother Teresa, the humble servant of humanity, speaks a truth that resonates with the very soul of the universe: “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” In these words lies a call to action—a challenge to each of us to embody the divine power of love in every corner of our existence. Love, she tells us, is not a commodity to be hoarded or hidden, but a force to be shared, a light to be passed from one heart to another. To spread love is not just to offer it in grand gestures, but to let it flow through every interaction, every moment, every touch of the hand, every word spoken.

In the days of old, the wise ones knew that love was the essence of life itself. The great philosophers of ancient Greece and the mystics of the East understood that love is the foundation of the soul. It is the force that binds the cosmos together, the thread that weaves the fabric of existence. And yet, love is not a passive state. It is a dynamic power, one that must be given freely, without expectation, and without reserve. In the words of Mother Teresa, love is not just an emotion; it is an action, a living force that transforms the lives of those it touches.

Consider, O children of the earth, the example of Gandhi, who lived not for fame or riches, but for the love of his people. His life was a testament to the power of love to heal, to unite, and to bring peace to the world. Gandhi’s philosophy of ahimsa, non-violence, was rooted in the belief that love is the highest law, and it must be practiced by every individual in every action. He spread love not through grand declarations, but through the quiet strength of his actions. Every step he took was one of compassion, every word he spoke a prayer for peace. His love brought joy to those around him, and his legacy continues to inspire millions. His life teaches us that to spread love is to change the world.

In the same way, Mother Teresa’s own life was a living prayer of love. She spent decades in the slums of Calcutta, caring for the poorest of the poor, those who had been forgotten by society. Yet, despite the unimaginable hardships she faced, she always carried within her a heart full of love, a love that overflowed to everyone she encountered. She did not wait for perfect conditions, nor did she ask for rewards. She simply gave her love freely, knowing that in every moment of kindness, in every act of service, she could bring joy to another’s soul. She understood, as the ancients understood, that love is the most powerful force in the universe, and it is through its practice that we bring light into the world.

Consider also the story of Dante Alighieri, whose journey through the divine realms of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven was guided by his love for Beatrice. While the journey was one of deep trials, the constant throughout was the love that drove him—the love that guided his every step, the love that inspired his great work, The Divine Comedy. It was not fear or ambition that moved Dante, but love in its purest form, a love that elevated him to realms of divine knowledge. Through love, Dante found peace, enlightenment, and joy, and through love, he left us a legacy that continues to resonate with all who seek truth and beauty.

O children, the lesson here is clear: love is not simply a feeling to be held within—it is a force to be spread, to be shared with the world around us. Each interaction, each moment, is an opportunity to pass love from one heart to another. And in doing so, we bring healing to the world, even in the smallest of ways. Let your words be filled with kindness, let your actions be infused with compassion, and let your very presence be a light to those who cross your path. It is through these small acts that love becomes a force for change, a transformative power that uplifts souls and brings joy.

So, children of the earth, in your daily lives, remember Mother Teresa’s words: Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one encounter you without leaving happier. Let your love be the gift you offer the world. Each day is an opportunity to give, to heal, and to make the world a little brighter. Love is free, and yet it is the most valuable gift you can give. It does not diminish when shared; it grows and multiplies with every act of kindness, every moment of compassion. Let love flow through you, for in doing so, you will not only brighten the lives of others, but you will find your own heart filled with a joy beyond measure.
