We can go altogether to God
The essence of the guru and student is the same, differing only in name and direction on the path. All come from different directions to meet at one point. Extensive worldly study, while respected, does not itself lead to the divine. True attainment comes through devotion, as illustrated by the brother who performed pūjā without formal learning yet walked on water. One must respect both worldly knowledge, like medicine, and spiritual practice. Ultimately, distinctions of religion or status dissolve; all are like drops returning to the ocean. The human duty is to affirm one's humanity daily, honor the earth as mother, and give love to everybody.
"One master, or guru, comes from this side, so there is a different lecture, a different path. We are all coming to meet at one point."
"The whole ocean and a little drop are the same. So we will come all together. Don't say it is this and this and that."
