All religious fanaticism and conflicts will vanish as soon as we grasp the Reality. Faith in God is based on genuine experience. Once we accept this, introspection begins and we are able to measure how far we have journeyed towards the goal, or away from it. We will then realize that we are groping in the dark and dragging others into darkness as well. Only then will we give up factional hatred in the name of religious conflict with those professing other faiths. Those who revel in religious confrontation should be asked, “Have you seen God? Have you become aware of the Divine Atma? If not, what authority do you have to decry or deny a particular name of God? You are lost in darkness and trying to drag me into that same darkness. Can a blind man lead another blind man along the road? That is an impossible task. Therefore, first understand your Truth before you defame, or deny mine.”

- Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 6, "Religion is Experience".

True devotees of God should not attach any importance to differences of religion, caste or sect. - BABA
