Mohammed preached monotheism and was driven out of Mecca. Jesus preached mercy and charity, and he was charged with treason. King Harischandra refused to give up his allegiance to Truth and was driven to such straits that he had to sell his wife and son as slaves. So, when you stick to the path of Truth and Righteousness, pain and poverty haunt you. But they are only clouds passing through the sky hiding for a little time the splendour of the Sun.

- Divine Discourse, November 21, 1981.

Truth is God. - Baba
