Every living being is on a pilgrimage - whether he/she or it is aware or not. The Sun causes clouds in the sky by raising water from the sea as vapour; the waters of the sea fall as rain, the rain water accumulates and flows as streams and rivers, until it merges with the source, the sea.  It is faithful to its destiny; it confronts bravely all the hurdles and obstacles on the pilgrim path. Every human being has come into this world as a Messenger of God.  

-Divine Discourse, December 25, 1979.

Virtue alone will bring the Grace of God.  - Baba
