![]() “The temple and the mosque are the same, there is no difference between a Hindu worship and Muslim prayer Īll the human beings are the same, although they may appear to be different.” ![]() But our innermost prayer should be a Hindu should be a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Christian a better Christian.” So we can only pray, if we are Hindus, not that a Christian should become Hindu. Whilst I hold by my own, I should hold others as dear as Hinduism. “I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them. Therefore, I believe that if one person gains spiritually, the whole world gains, and that if one person falls, the whole world falls to that extent.” “I believe in the essential unity of all that lives. “To see the unity in diversity is Yoga – to see the same consciousness in everyone.Whoever realizes that Yoga or union will always love the whole universe as part of his or her own self.” ![]() “Many are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached.” “Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged” “We try to realise the essential unity of the world with the conscious soul of man we learn to perceive the unity held together by the one Eternal Spirit, whose power creates the earth, the sky, and the stars, and at the same time irradiates our minds with the light of a consciousness that moves and exits in unbroken continuity with the outer world.” “As different streams, having their sources in different places, all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee. – Swami Vivekananda, The necessity of religion “What is needed is a fellow feeling between the different types of religion, seeing that they all stand or fall together, a fellow feeling which springs from mutual esteem and mutual respect, and not the condescending, patronizing, niggardly expression of goodwill, unfortunately in vogue at the present time with many.” Forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, brotherhood and the feeling of oneness are the signs of a true religion.” “If we live in our oneness-heart, we will feel the essence of all religions which is the love of God. ― J.K.Selected quotes on religious and spiritual unity. “Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” ![]() While change is upon us and we can't exactly stop it, we can always learn to work better together, and that's exactly what these quotes will encourage: 1. So to help make the coming weeks a little easier, or maybe just to bring a smile to your face, I've compiled a list of quotes from beloved authors on the importance of unity, and accepting each other for who we are. But if there's one thing I have learned over the last week, and difficult weeks before, it's that sticking together and supporting each other through thick and thin will help to overcome any obstacle - even an orange mountain of evil, if you get what I'm saying. And it's not easy to recover from this sort of thing, or just move on either. It's hard to focus on regular day-to-day things when the entire fate of the place you live feels as though it's just undergone a huge earthquake. It's an important thing to keep in mind, even when it's hardest than ever, to keep your chin up and remember that working together makes each and every individual stronger than before. Sometimes the world feels a little broken, a little torn at the seems - and other times it's blatantly obvious that things aren't working and makes working together all the more difficult. If you're feeling as though the unity of the country has shattered due to the recent election results, you aren't alone. ![]()
