One individual may elect to worship the Divine in the form of his favourite Goddess; another may worship God in a different form and derive bliss from such worship. Each one should note that the forms in which the Divine is worshipped by others are as important to them as his own chosen deity is to him. If, on the contrary, he criticizes or casts a slur on the deities worshipped by others, he is committing a grievous sin, however well he may be performing his own worship. Likewise, an individual should show equal regard and reverence for mothers of others as he/she shows for their own mother.

- Divine Discourse, October 14, 1988.

Learn to respect all. Only then will you earn the grace of the Divine who is the dweller in all beings. - Baba
