concerned with the body and bodily relations, while the inner aspect is concerned directly with the Soul, and so you will find that there is only one inner religion. Unity is already there. We have not to create it. Those Masters who came in the past, they had contact with that perennial Reality within. They knew that the same Reality is immanent in every form and supporting all creation. So they gave out that, "All mankind is one". Now the point is that we have to find out that Reality which we have forgotten and lost sight of. We have not to create anything anew. It is already there. We have to become conscious of the Reality that already exists in us. To err is human. We have been forgetting it and the Masters have been coming from time to time to revive this old old Truth.
We have with us here friends from the west to whom we extend our welcome. We have great appreciation and love for you all, especially as you come for the cause of God. All or us should join the army of God, I should say. What are the qualifications which enable us to join the army of God? Righteousuess or Dharma. Righteousness consists in kind thoughts, kind words and kind deeds. So, as I told you, these social religions were formed, from time to time, with this main object, that is to see God, to reach God.

The ultimate conclusion we come to is that all mankind is one. There is one Reality working throughout all creation. Of course there have been different ways of expressing the same Truth and the narrowminded view of the people, who have had no first-hand experience of the Truth within, separated man from man.
Truly speaking religion is an expression of Divinity already existing in man and there we are all one. So those who realise this one Reality, they see from the level of the Soul that the same Reality is working throughout all creation. Their level of thinking is very different from that of ordinary people who look from the level of labels that we have got which is misleading. We should look to the one Reality working in all creation and to the ultimate goal of knowing God that has been set before us.
So the World Religions Conference held here was for this aim only, and I am afraid, we have not been able to do full justice to this. Of course greater things have smaller beginnings. So there is a hope. If we but keep upto the goal before us, we will surely reach
