1.We see the outer circumstances, the processes which result in the final event and in our ignorance we judge that this set of causes produced these effects. But circumstances, events, emotions and feelings are all simply ‘instruments’ in His Divine Hands, serving His Will and His Purpose. The world is the stage on which each one acts the role He has allotted. Every one struts about for the time given by Him and obeys His instructions without fail or falter. We may proudly think that we have done this or that by ourselves, but the truth is that everything happens as He wills.
2.When it is desired to promote the prosperity of the nation, everyone of you must gather into yourself all the spiritual resources that you can. This implies that all the spiritual inclinations, beliefs and urges which are now feeble and dissipated must be united and reinforced. As part of religions, many creeds and cults may exist just as many branches are present in a tree. You should not condemn them as wrong and no branch should fight against another or compete with another. Realize the truth in the maxim, “Ekam Sath, Vipraah Bahudhaa Vadanthi” (Only One exists; the wise describe it in many ways).
3.Codes of behaviour, spiritual practices and manifestations of Love - all have enormous virtues which promote the progress of man. The basic truth of Creation is unity in multiplicity. The ‘Bharatiya’ (Indian) mode of worship is based on the awareness that the One manifests through many discrete forms and attributes when confronted by various situations and conditions. So Bharatiyas have the intellectual tolerance among all peoples of the world to proclaim to all the quarters that God exists and can be found in every religion. This is their unique good fortune.
