"Religious truth presupposes the consciousness of the unseen principle which gives life to all, and the aspiration to fulfill the requirements of that principle. Requirements that can be known by every person and even more so by those in whom this consciousness is alive. It is the same everywhere, the expression of this supreme principle unites people, and those united under the influence of lusts, passions falsify the understanding of this principle and its requirements. Their union is therefore the basis and the cause for not fulfilling the requirements.

""Adevărul religios presupune conștiința principiului nevăzut care dă viață tuturor și aspirația de a îndeplini cerințele acestui principiu. Cerințe ce pot fi cunoscute de fiecare om și cu atât mai mult de cei la care aceasta conștiință e vie. Pretutindeni se întâmplă la fel, exprimarea acestui principiu suprem îi unește pe oameni, iar cei uniți sub influența poftelor, patimilor falsifică înțelegerea acestui principiu și a cerințelor lui. Unirea lor e deci temei și cauza pentru neîndeplinirea cerințelor."
