The panelists expressed their individual opinion on the topic of discussion and came up with wonderful insights which were thought provoking as well as inspiring. One of the panel members came up with a wonderful depiction of what is love. He explained that Love is Selflessness, Changeless and Fearless.
These were verily the characteristics of Bhagavan:
Selfless: Sai has come only to give, never to receive
Changeless: Sai will always keep up His promise towards His devotees, despite their forgetfulness.
Fearless: Sai has not to come to destroy the wicked, but to transform them with Love.
