All women are mothers and sisters, and all men are fathers and brothers in God’s family.
–Maharajji, in Ram Dass, Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba
Oh humanity
I am your grateful son.
Every man my father’s age
Is my father.
Every woman my mother’s age
Is my mother.
All these little ones
Are my children….
–Ali Al-Bazaz, in Sadek Mohammed et al., Flowers of Flame: Unheard Voices of Iraq
