If you seek Vidya (knowledge), you must possess kindness, compassion and love towards all living beings. Compassion to all beings should be your very nature. If it is absent, you become a boor. Vidya means, more than anything else, the quality of genuine concern for all living beings. If you bear ill-will against any being, your education has no meaning. The advice given in the Gita, “Adweshta Sarva Bhoothanam (with no ill-will towards any being)," conveys the same message. Love and compassion must not be limited to mankind only; they must embrace every living being.

-Vidya Vahini, Ch 16.

All are One, be alike to everyone. - Baba
