On Tuesdays, Amma meditates with the residents in the old
temple. Then She answers questions posed by the residents.
Ever the embodiment of humility, Amma sometimes says that
She feels Her answers are not complete, and that She would
like Her children to say something in addition. Today, Amma
asked Her children to share resolutions or vows they would
like to take for the coming year.
One resident responded with a prayer that world peace would
finally dawn in 2003.
Amma replied, "For world peace to come, unity is needed.
Unity is the substratum of world peace. By the light of one
zero-watt bulb, even one student cannot study. But if 25 bulbs
are connected together in a series, even 2000 people can sit
together and they can all read by that light. This is the
importance of unity. Once there is unity, all differences
will cease to exist and there will be world peace."
