we should so order
our lives that we may become more like Him.

God has created us, one and all--why do we act in opposition to His wishes,
when we are all His children, and love the same Father? All these
divisions we see on all sides, all these disputes and opposition, are
caused because men cling to ritual and outward observances, and forget the
simple, underlying truth. It is the outward practices of religion that are
so different, and it is they that cause disputes and enmity--while the
reality is always the same, and one. The Reality is the Truth, and truth
has no division. Truth is God's guidance, it is the light of the world, it
is love, it is mercy. These attributes of truth are also human virtues
inspired by the Holy Spirit.

So let us one and all hold fast to truth, and we shall be free indeed!

The day is coming when all the religions of the world will unite, for in
principle they are one already. There is no need for division, seeing that
it is only the outward forms that separate them. Among the sons of men
some souls are suffering through ignorance, let us hasten to teach them;
others are like children needing care and education until they are grown,
and some are sick--to these we must carry Divine healing.

Whether ignorant, childish or sick, they must be loved and helped, and not
disliked because of their imperfection.

Doctors of religion were instituted to bring spiritual healing to the
peoples and to be the cause of unity among the nations. If they become the
cause of division they had better not exist! A remedy is given to cure a
disease, but if it only succeeds in aggravating the complaint, it is
better to leave it alone. If religion is only to be a cause of disunion it
had better not exist.

All the Divine Manifestations sent by God into the world would have gone
through their terrible hardships and sufferings for the single hope of
spreading Truth, unity and concord among men. Christ endured a life of
sorrow, pain and grief, to bring a perfect example of love into the
world--and in spite of this we continue to act in a contrary spirit one
towards the other!

Love is the fundamental principle of God's purpose for man, and He has
commanded us to love each other even as He loves us. All these discords
and disputes which we hear on all sides only tend to increase materiality.

The world for the most part is sunk in materialism, and the blessings of
the Holy Spirit are ignored. There is so li
