« The idea of universal brotherhood ... when we say people are brothers and sisters, we have to understand the idea of brotherhood as the highest expression of life.

Even if it is difficult to give a precise definition of life, we can say it is the result of the relationship that exists between all the constituent elements of the great cosmic body of the universe. No element can survive if it remains isolated, cut off from the others. Isolation always brings death – if not physical, at least spiritual death. Life, on the other hand, is found in the relationships, the brotherhood and the love that should exist between all creatures. »
