True equality cannot be achieved, and in society as in families inequality will always have to be compensated for by brotherhood

We are born at a particular time, in a certain country or family, and we have a particular physical constitution and are either endowed with or deprived of certain qualities, as determined by past incarnations. This determines from the outset our chances and success as individuals. A society may always work toward equality, and it is to be hoped that it will, yet the inequalities will remain. The only way of remedying them is to become aware of the fraternal link uniting all human beings. True equality cannot be achieved, and in society as in families inequality will always have to be compensated for by brotherhood.
