What is the essential message of Gautama Buddha? On the auspicious occasion of Buddha Poornima, Bhagawan lovingly reminds us.

Buddha taught that we should not have anger, we should not find others’ faults, and we should not harm others because all are embodiments of the pure, eternal principle of the Atma. Have compassion towards the poor and help them to the extent possible. You think those who do not have food to eat are poor people. You cannot call someone poor just because he does not have money or food to eat. Truly speaking, nobody is poor. All are rich, not poor. Those whom you consider poor may not have money, but all are endowed with the wealth of Hridaya (the heart). Understand and respect this underlying principle of unity and divinity in all and experience bliss. Do not have such narrow considerations as so and so is your friend, so and so is your enemy, so and so is your relation, etc. All are one, be alike to everyone. That is your primary duty. This is the most important teaching of Buddha.
