What Is Brotherhood
It is unity in diversity!
You can unite on the fundamentals on which you
all agree.
There must always be differences of opinion because
all the individual within the ranks of what you
might loosely call the Spiritualist movement, are
at different stages of spiritual and mental growth
and evolution.
They cannot think alike.
Some of you are perhaps already familiar with the
fact that you have discarded views, beliefs and
opinions.
That you held dearly in years gone by, but
a greater understanding has brought you
a different perspective.
So the great necessity is for tolerance.
Brotherhood does not mean that you will all agree.
It means that you recognize brotherhood in spite of
your diversities.
You should try to achieve this ideal.
You may not succeed in doing so 100 per cent.
But co-operation is part of the law governing
the universe
You must expect troubles, difficulties, problems,
pitfalls and differences of opinion because you
are human.
But if you have compassion, if you are prepared
to co-operate, to understand, to sink self and let
the good of many prevail, then you will come
through.
The trouble is that there are too many people
who are more concerned with themselves than
with others.
These are the stumbling blocks in any truth.
There are differences of interpretation.
Respect one another’s viewpoints
connect on what you can agree with
That is brotherhood.
