Unity of faith

“All faiths are inter-related and mutually indebted to each other for the principles they teach, and the disciplines they recommended.
The Vedic Religion was the first in time;
Buddhism which appeared about 2,500 years ago, was its son;
Christianity, which was influenced much by the Orient was its grandson.
And Islam, which has the Prophets of Christianity as its base was like the great-grandson. All have Love as the fundamental discipline of the mind, in order to chasten it and merge man with the Divine”.
SSS VOL VII B Chap 15 p 113.

o There is only one caste - the caste of Humanity.
o There is only one religion - the religion of Love.
o There is only one language - the language of the Heart.
o There is only one God - He is Omnipresent.
o There is only one law - the law of Dharma”.

“Let the different faiths exist, let them flourish, let the glory of God be sung in all the languages, in a variety of tunes that should be the ideal. Respect the differences between the faiths and recognise them as valid as far as they do not extinguish the flame of Unity.”
