I am like a passenger train. Anyone, to whichever religion he belongs, can board the train. But he needs to buy a ticket. What is this ticket? Confidence, bhakti, love and loyalty to Guru. If you have anyone of them, you are eligible to travel in this train. I know very well the station where each one of you needs to get down. I will take you to that station.

To me, all religions are one and the same. All are equal. In my kingdom there is only one God. He is the protector of the world.
