Passage 7

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Along with Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Sai, Gaṇapati and Durgā, give them the stories of Christ, Muhammad and Zoroaster too. With a broad outlook, achieve universal Prema. Divinity has no limits of place and time; it is the principle that shines everywhere and at all times as one and the same radiance. In that principle, to make distinctions of greater and lesser, great and small, and to argue over them, is the mark of foolishness. For people who do not know who they themselves are to debate the names and forms of God and argue that this one is great and that one small is laughable and nothing else. How can a man who has not seen any of them, Rāma or Śiva or Kṛṣṇa or Christ, say, ‘This one is not that one, that one is not this one’? Only an unlettered blind man would say so; no one else argues like that. Give your teaching and spread it in such a way that people of every religion come into close kinship. With courage and steadfastness, with sound faith, take part in this holy service, and make your lives meaningful.
