Seen from the aspect of eternity, each of us is but a mode of one infinite reality that dwells in the heart of every finite creature. When you are always aware of this deep, underlying unity, how can you be upset by apparent differences? Who can make you feel threatened or insecure? The message of all great religions is the same: Regard everybody as yourself because everybody is you. Whatever others may say or do, you will know that the Lord lives in them, and you will always treat them accordingly. — Eknath Easwaran, Original Goodness
