THE RELIGIOUS PROBLEM IN INDIA
Let us bathe in the nighty waters of knowledge, O Brother! so that the mind and body be purified.
[Guru i. Sorath.]
O heart ! Love Hari as the lotus loves the waters ; It is buffeted by waves, but (the petals of) its love unfold.
[Gurn i. Shri Rāg.]
I forgot all distinctions (lit. anotherness, or I
forgot altogether who was another), Since I obtained the company of the good; There was no enemy, no alien, I made peace with every one.
[Guru v. Kānara.]
All beings are His, He belongs to all beings. Whom can we revile (or say he is low)? If there were another (we might do so).
[Gurn iii. İsa.]
Pause for one moment on the thought that if there is but one Self in all, where is there room for hatred ? If there be but one Hari in all, where is the roon for contempt ? If there were more than One, if there were not One withont a second, then might man be different from man and might quarrel with his brother; but if the same God abides in every heart, if the same Self animates every vehicle, where is the room for hatred or contempt? There is but One in all .
