When one God dwells in all living beings, why do you hate others? Why do you use harsh words? Why do you exploit others? Why are you intolerant? Is this not the height of folly and ignorance?
Make others happy as you strive to make yourself happy. Speak a helpful word. Give a cheering smile. Do a kind act. Serve a little. Wipe the tears of one who is in distress. Render smooth a rough place in another’s path. You will feel great joy. Worship the poor, the down trod den and the op pressed. These are your first gods. Regard your neighbour’s happiness as your own happiness, and your neighbour’s pain as your own pain.
Smile with the flowers and the green grass. Play with the butterflies, birds and deer. Shake hands with the shrubs, ferns and twigs of trees. Talk to the rainbow, wind, stars and the sun. Converse with the running brooks and the waves of the sea.
Develop friend ship with your neighbours, dogs, cats, cows, human beings, tress, flowers, etc. Then you will have a wide, perfect, rich, full life. You will realize the oneness or unity of life. This can hardly be described in words. You will have to feel it yourself.
