'And where could its root be except in food? In the same way, dear boy, with food as the sprout seek water as the root; with water as the sprout, dear boy, seek fire as the root; with fire as the sprout, dear boy, seek Being as the root. All these creatures, dear boy, have Being as their root, Being as their abode, Being as their support.'

Same theme, different voices
One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.
Pride, whether based on caste, state, language, or the strength of one's body, mind, or wealth, always gives rise to feelings of hatred and jealousy.
God is the enduring one, and everything else is transient.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.
