  5. Unity of all Existence

  6. What is Unity? As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies; then you and I become separate.

  7. What is Unity? All is the Self or Brahman. The saint, the sinner, the lamb, the tiger, even the murderer, as far as they have any reality, can be nothing else, because there is nothing else.

  9. O Lord, Look not upon my evil qualities Thy name O Lord is Same Sightedness See in us both the same Brahman (Higher Self) One piece of iron is in the image in the temple And another is the knife in the hands of a butcher But the philosopher’s stone knows not these distinctions, Both alike turn to gold One drop of water is in the sacred Yamuna Another is found in the ditch by the roadside But when they finally meet and flow as one stream into the Ganges Both alike become holy Prabhuji more avagun chit na dharo Samdarsi hai naam tihaaro, chaaho to paar karo Ik loha pooja mein raakhat, ik ghar vyadhik paro Sau duvidha paaras nahi jaanat, kanchan karat kharo Ik nadiya ik naar kahaavat, main lohi neer bhayo Jab mili dono ek baran bhai, sur sari naam paro Thy Name is Same Sightedness

  10. Realize this Unity “Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within, by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."

  11. The Path of Action (Karma Yoga) You only control your action and not the results. So be not motivated by results; nor be attached to inaction. Bhagvad Gita, 2:47

  16. Introducing Interfaith Dialogue “God is the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof.”

  17. Introducing Interfaith Dialogue “The idea that one man is born superior to another has no meaning in Vedanta (Hindu philosophy). Never judge the customs of other people by your own standards.”

  18. Introducing Interfaith Dialogue “Who has given you the right to say that truth exists nowhere else but in the Vedas (the ancient books of the Hindus)?”

  19. Introducing Interfaith Dialogue “Why should I tolerate? Toleration means that you are wrong and I am just allowing you”

The sun is not, Nor light, Nor the comely moon, In the great void of space, Floats shadow-like the image Universe. In the void of mind involute, There floats the fleeting Universe, Rises and floats, Sinks again, ceaseless, in the current "I" Slowly, slowly, the shadow-multitude, Entered the primal womb, And flowed, ceaseless,The only current, the "I am", "I am". It is stopped, ev'n that current flows no more, Void merged into void Beyond speech and mind, Whose heart understands, he verily does
