The one all-loving God
bestows His divine Grace and Favour on all mankind; one and all are servants
of the Most High, and His Goodness, Mercy and loving Kindness are showered
upon all His creatures. The glory of humanity is the heritage of each one.
All men
are the leaves and fruit of one same tree, they are all branches of the
tree of Adam, they all have the same origin.The same rain has fallen upon
them all, the same warm sun makes them grow, they are all refreshed by
the same breeze.
The only
differences that exist and that keep them apart are these: there are the
children who need guidance, the ignorant to be instructed, the sick to
be tended and healed; thus, I say that the whole of humanity is enveloped
by the Mercy and Grace of God. As the Holy Writings tell us: All men are
equal before God. He is no respecter of persons.

Paris Talks, Pages: 129-130)

"If we fail to access these forces, we remain like a bird that refuses to leave its nest and fly -- in other words, we do not realize the potentialities inherent within us."
