________________
THE DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL*
The doors of the saints are open to all. Whoever wishes, may see it for bimself. The doors are the saints' sentinels. The shade of the tree, the moon's moonlight, The splendour of the sun, are all boundless; Unto them, all have an equal right! The saints' doors are open for all. Be one rich or poor, Good or virtueless, Be one an outcast or a money-lender, A labourer or a farmer, A Hindu or a Muslim, The caste is no consideration there,
What really matters is humanity.
Whether one is high-souled or base, One's speech and conduct amply unfold !
--Acharya Tulsi
