“The moment you place your eyes on the ever-radiant glare of humanity in the depth of your heart, all separations would disappear from your field of vision - all barriers would crumble to dust from the fabric of your perception – and what will prevail is a plain, ordinary, sanctifying sense of humanity - only humanity would remain and everything else would turn completely blank - not an object, not a name, not a culture, not a creed, not even a sound - you could see nothing, you could hear nothing, you could feel nothing - all you could comprehend - all you could perceive - all you could realize - is that one fervor - that one fountain of uncorrupted light - your light.”

“Let's do this thing today together,
Let's love one another today together,
Let's remove illusional differences today together,
Let's see the soul inside us the same today together,
let's cut the goat of hatred today together,
Let's accept the swan of love today together,
Let's not call god from the mosque, mandir, church or Guruduwara today together,
Let's call God from the temple of heart today together,
Let's not purify the outer today together,
Let's purify the inner today together,
Let's today be the day we realize together,
Let's today be the day we enlight today together.”
“There's no humanitarian, only human.”
