The Need for a Culture of Love
“This planet will not be healthy until we gain a deeper understanding of the soul and the universal love we all share. As parts and parcels of God, we naturally belong to a culture of love, liberation, and constant celebration. When we extend this love and joy to others, we experience ever-deepening levels of God’s love. The world sorely needs a deeper sense of community and a more mature understanding of personal happiness, both of which depend upon our willingness to raise individual and collective consciousness by sharing our love with others. Consider the “community” of a tree. Although the leaves of a tree require water, we do not need to water each and every leaf individually. In fact, if we water only the leaves and neglect the roots, the tree will not survive very long. But if we water the roots, we distribute water throughout the entire tree, so that the tree thrives quite nicely. Although we may consider ourselves self-sufficient, we are actually no more self-sufficient than the leaves of a tree. The “nourishment” we need is love, and by directing our love toward God, we “water our roots” and naturally distribute love throughout the entire community.”

Great Spiritual books to resolve practical problems in life
I am sure the problems related to youths have no direct answers in many books but this is the unique books where resolution for all the problems in human being is presented with positive spirit. In each and every page the confidence and purity of author is reflected, just reading this book will give the reader the strength to apply the teachings in life.

I couldn't finish. This book turned me off from Bhakti completely; his outdated, homophobic writing really upset me and made me think Bhakti wasn't the right path. I took a break, and am now reading other Bhakti texts and feel better about things. I know many of my spiritual community regard him as a wonderful teacher, but he is not for me.
