"It’s easy for a few people to be united, to have good relationships and understand one another, for humans generally tend to group together according to their affinities. But when it’s a question of all the countries and all the nations on earth having to live together, what problems there are! For centuries, millennia, they have risen up against each other with their own visions of the world and their different religions, with their different political and economic systems and their different traditions. How can they be brought into harmony? That requires a prodigious science.

You follow the teaching of the Universal White Brotherhood, and you think it’s enough to meet together and maintain good fraternal relations. Well, it’s not enough! Even if there are a few hundred of you or a few thousand, it’s still not enough. The aim of our teaching is not to unite a few people but to unite all people. When you come here, that is what you should be thinking about, what you should be working towards: finding out what you can do to spread this philosophy of universality."
