Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

The Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Mankind
When your fellow men are in difficulty, you should help them to the best
of your ability. You should feel that there is no difference between man
and man. You should establish the oneness of humanity and realise
the relationship that exists between one human being and another.
You should realise that it is the spirit of Atman that runs through the
entire range of human beings. This alone will enable you to reach the
ideal of “Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of man”. (35-48)
Forms of worship, of the phraseology of adoration or the style of address
may vary; but, all religions are directed towards the same end.
The same bloodstream circulates in all the limbs of the body. The
same Divine stream activates the entire universe. Visualise that supreme
architect, that incomprehensible designer, that unseen lifegiver.
This is spoken of as the realization of the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of man. Do not get entangled in the business of living;
do not forget in your struggle for survival and success, the God that
made life possible. 7.7.68, (20-249/250)
You know that all are altars where the same God is installed, all are
moved and motivated by the grace of the self-same God. You are afflicted
by hate and pride, but once you have knowledge and experience
of the Divine.
you know it and experience it, you are full of love and reverence to all.
The barbarous remedy of war will be renounced when this basic brotherhood
is felt in the deepest core of man.
All men in all countries are pilgrims proceeding along the path to God.
The progress of each is decided by the discipline adopted, the character
formed, the ideal kept in view, the leadership chosen and the
faith implanted. (...)
Your material eyes see countries as different; in reality, all countries
are limbs of one organism; all bodies are activated by the same principle.
For God, the universe is the mansion. Each nation is a room, a
hall, in that mansion. So, when I move from one room to another and
come back, why do you indulge in all this commotion and celebration?
I do not feel that I have been to another mansion; it was all so familiar
to me. You should not emphasise this apparent distinction; for the Divine,
all are the same. 14.7.68, 20-263/264)
