To end starvation, you must act. It does not matter what it is - if you want change, you must act. Your words and your prayers are as nothing compared to the power of a single action. It all begins with you. There are two kinds of actions you can do - right and wrong.
Right action creates, and wrong action destroys.
The final stage of spiritual evolvement is when all your actions are right actions. A being capable of only creation and no destruction. A being filled with light. You have heard it said that the ONE is a light brighter than any other light and yet it does not hurt to look upon it. This then, is the goal toward which we all must strive.
