Addressing the delegates Muni ji sald, "The fundamentals of religion are contained in humility and softness. It is difficult for me to say whether I will be able to carry on this work. Time alone will show this. But I have full faith in your love ind affection. You have assured me that as a convener I will be able to organise this work and the rest of the work you will do by co-operating with me. Hence the responsibility to carry on this tremendous work is yours. Only then the work can go on. I am there only in name and shall continue until all co-operate. To give it a legal and workable shape is your responsibility.
I felt frustrated to some extent after working in this field from last three or four years. But now that I find all of you present here, I see a new ray of hope. I think that we will be succesful in creating a feeling of world brotherhood. Fraternal love and hard work never go waste. The resolution to establish World Fellowship of Religions has been passed by the consent of all present here. We want to establish a partnership in which different races, different religions, difference of outlook in the field of politics, different loyalties will not be allowed to make for distinction between man and man. We are out to create a worit brotherhood and at least in this organisation we will all meet with a feeling of brotherliness and that is the ultimate aim of this organization. In this Red Fort where there has been from times immemorial a reign of politicians, a conference of religions is now taking place for the first time.
Politics seperates man from man. Politics creates a wide gulf between one nation and another which can never be removed, but religion is the linking force which binds them in eternal bondage of love. Today we have to declare that we all are one and shall ever remain to be so. World Fellowship and World Brotherhood will be our primary aim.
In my opinion there should be branches of this organization in every country. Also all those present here should open a branch of this organ zation in their respective countries. You can also ask as to who will be the officers of this. In my opinion its president should be some distinguished man from India who could act as a linking source and further the work in co-operation with one and all. Now the question is who should be the co-chairman. Out of the distinguished representatives from Russia, one should take up this responsibility. It is not my intention to suggest that we have no regard for the representatives of any other country. For, to all of us it should not make any difference at all. Of course, for politicians their might be a difference between East and West. They can take
