Saints with a Difference

God made all men equal, and His divine spark animates every being He created. All men are equal, and yet there are chosen few whom we call ‘Men of God’. Why are they special? What makes these men and women the chosen of the Lord? What makes us venerate them as saints, mahatmas and spiritual leaders?

The answer is simple: they become chosen of the Lord because they chose the Lord above all else. They made bhakti, devotion, the foundation of their life. To whichever faith or denomination they belonged, they chose to do good to all. They chose truth, goodness, compassion, simplicity, service and sacrifice — and attained an exalted status among men.

In the Fourth Volume of this ongoing series, Dada J.P Vaswani introduces to us a few more of these saintly souls, each one of them are guides and saviours of humanity. Himself a universalist and a great spiritual leader whose religion of love and unity transcends all narrow creeds, Rev. Dada helps us touch the very heart of the mystery, the great spiritual Shakti that these saints represent.
