from one vessel to another.
Nations are many, but Earth is one;
Beings are many, but Breath is one;
Stars are many, but Sky is one;
Oceans are many, but Water is one;
Religions are many, but God is one;
Jewels are many, but Gold is one;
Appearances are many, but Reality is One.
God will not ask you when and where you did service? He will ask, with
what motive did you do it? What was the intention that prompted you? You

Spend a few minutes every morning and evening in the Silence of your own

mentally; offer unto Him all the work you do; you will come out of the
silence nobler and more heroic than when you went in.

Divine and when he reveres all others as Divine.
Let the different faiths exist.
Let them flourish and
Let the glory of God be sung
In all the languages of the world
And in a variety of tunes.
Respect the differences between the faiths
And recognise them as valid
As long as they do not extinguish
The flame of unity.
