Though religion has come into existence to liberate man from all narrowness, it can itself become a cage when not understood properly.  All the world religions proclaim the same eternal and universal Truth; yet human weakness has a tendency to carve out some limiting, narrow loyalty which closes its gates upon the shoreless and unbounded ocean of love or divinity.  It is not the essentials of religions, but addiction to their outer forms, which has tended to divide man from man, thus thwarting the very purpose of the great founders of  the world religions.

I invite man to break through all of his self-created prisions, and taste of the unlimited life which I bring. I ask him to love divinely, fearlessly and limitlessly and to rise above the limited self of the separative ego-mind.  I come to impart to groping humanity the universal Truth which transends sectarian divisions and dogmatic formulations.

Through ages of darkness and suffering mankind awaits me and my Truth.  I and the Truth which I bring are inseparable, one from the other.  I am one with the Truth.  May you all,too, break through the numberless cages and realize that you are one with the limitless Truth of divine life.  The divine Beloved is always with you, in you and around you.  Know that you are not separate from Him.
