The man who is groping through sin, through misery, the man who is choosing the path through hells, will reach it, but it will take time. We cannot save him. Some hard knocks on his head will help him to turn to the Lord. The path of virtue, purity, unselfishness,spirituality, becomes known at last and what all are doing unconsciously, we are trying to do consciously.

The idea is expressed by St. Paul, "The God that ye ignorantly worship,Him declare I unto you." This is the lesson for the whole world to learn. What have these philosophies and theories of nature to do, if not to help us to attain to this one goal in life? Let us come to that consciousness of the identity of everything and let man see himself in everything. Let us be no more the worshippers of creeds or sects with small limited notions of God, but see Him in everything in the universe. If you are knowers of God, you will everywhere find the same worship as in your own heart.

Get rid, in the first place, of all these limited ideas and see God in every person -- working through all hands, walking through all feet,and eating through every mouth. In every being He lives,through all minds He thinks. He is self- evident, nearer unto us than ourselves. To know this is religion, is faith, and may it please the Lord to give us this faith! When we shall feel that oneness,we shall be immortal. We are physically immortal even, one with the universe.

So long as there is one that breathes throughout the universe, I live in that one. I am not this limited little being,I am the universal. I am the life of all the sons of the past. I am the soul of Buddha,of Jesus, of Mohammed. I am the soul of the teachers, and I am all the robbers that robbed, and all the murderers that were hanged, I am the universal. Stand up then; this is the highest worship. You are one with the universe.That only is humility -- not crawling upon all fours and calling yourself a sinner. That is the highest evolution when this veil of differentiation is torn off. The highest creed is Oneness. I am so - and - so is a limited idea, not true of the real "I".
