PILGRIMAGE TO GOD
Patience, Tolerance, fortitude, equanimity, fraternity...these will prove invaluable equipments in the pilgrimage to God. Do not distinguish between one fellow pilgrim and another on the basis of caste, creed or color. Do not divide them into friends and foes. Recognize the common traits, uniting efforts, and the basic divinity amongst all. Rich and poor, scholar and illiterate - these distinctions do not hold good for long, they are just outer frills. A flower radiates fragrance and charm, whether held in the right hand or the left. It does not limit that gift to some and deny it to others. Everyone who comes near, receives the fragrance.
- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1975.
