A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path. "If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness."

The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities.
