…we must not make distinctions between individual members of the human family. We must not consider any soul as barren or deprived. Our duty lies in educating souls so that the Sun of the bestowals of God shall become resplendent in them, and this is possible through the power of the oneness of humanity.

Love is the source of all the bestowals of God. Until love takes possession of the heart, no other divine bounty can be revealed in it.
