Unless each one is respected, whatever his/her status, economic condition or spiritual development, there can be no peace and happiness in life. This respect can be aroused only by the conviction that the same Aatma (Self) that is in you is playing the role of the other person. See that Aatma in others; feel that they too have hunger, thirst, yearning and desires as you have; develop sympathy and the anxiety to serve and be useful.
- Divine Discourse, February 22, 1968.
