Be overflowing with peace and joy,
and scatter them wherever you are
and wherever you go.
Be a blazing fire of truth,
be a beauteous blossom of love

With your spiritual light,

dissolve the clouds of discord and war
and spread goodwill, peace, and harmony among the people.
This is your mission, to serve the people…..”
