When people who are fanatical in their beliefs about God approach us, we must welcome them with a smile, and be eager to listen to them with a heart filled with devotion to God. When someone who is passionate about his/her work approaches us we must share with them our skill and strength and toil together. By this means it is possible to bring harmony between followers of various faiths and cultures. It will bring together various schools of thought and belief. How wonderful it would be if this kind of harmony and friendly co-operation becomes more prevalent! How happy the world would be if everyone comprehends that their viewpoint can at best be only the partial truth and that it requires the harmonious commingling of many other facets to arrive at the whole truth!
