"Hindus and Musalmans are of the same nature, two leaves of one tree-these call their teachers Mullás, those term them Pandits; two pitchers of one clay: one performs Namáz, the other offers Pújá: where is the difference? I know of no dissimilaritythey are both followers of the doctrine of Dualitythey have the same bone, the same flesh, the same blood, and the same marrow. One cuts off the foreskin, the other puts on a sacrificial thread. Ask of them the difference, enquire the importance of these distinctions, and they will quarrel with you: dispute not, but know them to be the same; avoid all idle wrangling and strife, and adhere to the truth, the doctrine of DAYARAM."
OF THE HINDUS.
"I fear not to declare the truth; I know no difference between a subject and a king; I want neither homage nor respect, and hold no communion with any but the good: what I can obtain with facility that will I desire, but a palace or a thicket are to me the same-the error of mine and thine have I cast away, and know nothing of loss or gain. When a man can meet with a preceptor to teach him these truths, he will destroy the errors of a million of births. Such a teacher is now in the world, and such a one is DAYARAM."
