In plain words
Between religion and religion, hatred; between race and race, strife; in country after country, uproar: what for, then, the teachings of religion? Open your eyes and see, brother: this Sai Deva, if you think on Him, is found anywhere, brother; that He was in Shirdi the other day and is in Parti today is only the name, but He moves in the very eyes of the devotees who hold Him in thought, brother!

The Satya that all religions set forth is one. The final goal of all religions is one. To shape the foolish human into a true human being and change him into the divine: this is the chief duty of religion. To protect right conduct: this is the chief duty of religion. Religion is that which brings about the transformation of man's mind. The aim of religion is to develop not merely man's life but his faith in the Ātma. The secure foundation of all religions is the moral sense itself. Along with a religion whose very morality has decayed, humanity too decays. The chief root of good conduct is morality itself. A state, a society or an individual: each rests on morality alone. A state, a society, an individuality that has lost morality falls to ruin. All wealth and riches, all comforts and fortune, rest on moral values alone. These religions came so that man might experience that principle of morality. Religion is the right conduct that brings body, mind and intellect, all three, into harmony. Morality is the perfect state of conduct. Another name for morality is Dharma. Dharma also means what is dear, and value. Only when we follow a moral sense joined with what is dear do great riches of fame of real worth come to the world. A thing has a value; but to determine of Dharma that it is this or that is impossible. Another name for Dharma is morality itself. Another name for morality is selfless Prema itself. To attain the principle of Prema, and with the aim that society might stand in well-being, they went on establishing these religions.
Taking account of the influence of place, time and circumstance, the rulers and ṛṣis of those days went on laying down certain strict rules for themselves. All of these came into being precisely to nourish human values, to uphold human values.
