Express wishes - everywhere you go, express wishes for the whole world

02/28/2026

We leave traces―beneficial or malevolent imprints―everywhere we go and on whatever we touch. It is said that wherever some people tread, the grass grows no more. Clearly, this image is symbolic, but it is no exaggeration. Other beings, in contrast, who are filled with love and kindness, leave such beneficial imprints in their wake that all who follow in their footsteps feel enlightened, warmed and revitalized. This is why wherever we go, we too should remember to express aloud our best wishes, such as: ‘May light shine on all who pass this way. Since they are all children of God, let them work for peace and brotherhood!’ You may say that no one has ever spoken to you about such a practice before. But why should anyone have to tell you about it? Do you need to be prompted to wish the very best for your loved ones? Of course not. You do it spontaneously, moved by your feelings for them. Then, why not think spontaneously of expressing wishes for the whole world?
