§§§

Spirituality is not merely tolerance. It is not even acceptance. It is the feeling of a universal oneness.

In our spiritual life, we look upon the Divine not only in terms of our own God, but in terms of everybody else’s God. Our spiritual life firmly and securely establishes the basis of unity in diversity.

Spirituality is not hospitality to the other’s faith in God. It is the absolute recognition of the other’s faith in God as one’s own.

– Sri Chinmoy
