Race, nationality, religion are but decorations.

You belong to all that has been created and all that is being created. There is such an interconnectedness, an interdependence that you share as human beings. When you acknowledge that interconnectedness, when you acknowledge that you are part of a massive creation, you cease to dwell on the differences and begin to focus your attention on what unites one with another. It is that focus that provides the strength, the visibility for God’s light in the world.

When you bring your attention to what divides you, you are not giving life to God’s light. You must reject differences. You must reject those visible signs that imply being separate, for those are so temporary. They are so unimportant. Race, nationality, religion have absolutely no meaning. They are but decorations. They do not define something different.
