“The differentiation between family men and monks has brought great harm to the world. Only a class of aristocracy is created. You are a family man, so you are the lower class, and we are monks, so we are the higher class. Is God different for a monk and a family man? Even if anybody leads a family life, is it his fault? Does the fault come upon that God who makes him so? So long as this tradition in the religious world continues, you are superior and I am inferior. No! Everybody is equal in the spiritual world.. There is no question of superiority or inferiority. And this is the true equality.” — Sri Jibankrishma or Diamond
