All men in all countries are pilgrims proceeding along the path of God...

All men in all countries are pilgrims
proceeding along the path to God.
The progress of each is decided by
the discipline adopted, the character formed,
the ideal kept in view, the leadership chosen and the faith implanted.

Just as trees and plants, birds and beasts
differ from one region to another, the rituals, practices,
disciplines and ideals may differ from community to community;
each is good for that region and that stage of development.

You cannot transplant one,
from one human community to another.
The atmosphere in which you have grown up is the most congenial for you
.
