God resides in every living being
The essential unity of all beings transcends names and divisions. A universal spiritual truth is present everywhere, yet human divisions persist based on religion or nationality. These distinctions are superficial and dissolve when the soul leaves the body. All life is interconnected, like countless lives within a single ocean. The core human duty is to recognize this unity, to harm no living being, and to see the divine in every person. One must confront the consequences of past actions, including consuming other life, to progress spiritually. True practice involves daily prayer and seeing the self, the mother, and all others as manifestations of the divine. The ideal is for every being to treat every other with such reverence that no negativity remains.
"The living being is like fire, when the fire rises, then what am I? I am a human being."
"If a living being kills another living being, it is an animal that eats, not a human."
