...the more a person becomes spiritually minded or advances towards God, the more tolerant he becomes and the less differentiation he sees.
Interpretation
Spiritual growth leads to greater tolerance and unity with others.
This quote by Meher Baba suggests that as individuals foster their spiritual awareness and draw closer to a divine understanding, they naturally begin to embrace a mindset of tolerance. Instead of focusing on the differences that separate people, they perceive a deeper connection that underscores our shared humanity, diminishing the barriers that often divide us.

Love has to spring spontaneously from within And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; But though love cannot be forced on anyone, It can be awakened in him through love itself. Love is essentially self communicative; Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible, And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.

For years, I prayed to the gods of Cao Dai for healing and peace. But as one prayer after another went unanswered, it became clear that either they were nonexistent or they did not care to lend a hand.
The human psyche has two great sicknesses: the urge to carry vendetta across generations, and the tendency to fasten group labels on people rather than see them as individuals.
