In English
devotees must free themselves of all prejudices
Patience, tolerance, fortitude, equanimity, fraternity - these, will prove invaluable equipment for the pilgrim. Do not distinguish between one fellow-pilgrim and another on the basis of caste, creed or colour, and do not divide them Into friends or foes. Recognise only the common traits, the uniting efforts, the basic Divinity. Rich and poor, scholar and illiterate - these are distinctions that do not hold good for long, for they are but outer frills. A flower radiates fragrance and charm, whether held in the right hand or the left. It does not limit that gift to some and deny lt to others. Everyone who comes near, is blessed. The members of the units of this organisation must be ever engaged in the twin processes of purifying the mind and clarifying the intellect. They have to free themselves from all prejudices and misunderstandings. They have to speak softly and sweetly, and give every one the respect and attention due to them sincerely. Humility and tolerance must characterise the behaviour of a devotee. When the wind agitates the serene waters of a lake, wavelets dance all over its face, and a thousand Suns sparkle. When calm descends, and the waters are still, the shadow of the Sun Within the lake is one full image.
