People argue that religions and the system of communities and castes have to go; but, so long as man has variegated aptitudes and skills, and capacity to learn and grow, they are inevitable. You cannot abolish faith in God, or in the mystery and might of the Unseen. You cannot also abolish distinctions and differences, castes and communities. What can be destroyed, what needs to be destroyed, is the hatred between these natural groups. You can have an association of a particular caste or community, but, don't run it in a spirit of hostility. Use the association to pool resources for advancement of the boys and girls of the community... The Divine has in His vision all mankind; it cannot be bound by the limits of one caste or one creed.

- Divine Discourse, June 21, 1971.

The recognition of divinity in man will lead to the realisation of the unity of mankind. - Baba
