"He who wishes to see face to face the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth must learn to love even the meanest creature as himself. Anyone who strives for this should not withdraw from any area of life. This is how the passionate love of the Truth may have pushed me into the field of politics, and without hesitation, although with the deepest humility, I can say that anyone who believes that religion has nothing to do with politics does not know what religion is.

He who wishes to see face to face the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth must learn to love even the meanest creature as himself. Anyone who strives for this should not withdraw from any area of life. This is how the passionate love of the Truth may have pushed me into the field of politics, and without hesitation, although with the deepest humility, I can say that anyone who believes that religion has nothing to do with politics does not know what religion is.
""Aki szemtől szemben kívánja látni az Igazság egyetemes és mindent átható Szellemét, annak meg kell tanulnia, hogy a leghitványabb teremtményt is ugyanúgy szeresse, mint önmagát. Aki erre törekszik, annak az élet egyetlen területéről sem szabad kivonulnia. Így sodorhatott engem is az Igazság rajongó szeretete a politika mezejére, és habozás nélkül, noha a legmélyebb alázattal állíthatom, hogy aki szerint a vallásnak semmi köze a politikához, az nem tudja, mi a vallás."
