Everyone must cultivate a broad mind, a large-hearted outlook. Broad mindedness is expansion, narrow-mindedness is contraction. Devotees should also cultivate broad mindedness. It is to broaden the heart that name of the Lord should be chanted. Instead of singing by oneself, when devotees sing in groups, a sense of unity develops. By all people singing in unison and all hands clapping together, all hearts become one. This unity is proclaimed in the Vedas (ancient Indian scriptures) by describing the different organs of the Lord as the Source of the Power in the different sense organs of a human being.
- Divine Discourse, April 1984.
