(Selected foundational excerpts from the core texts of Caodaism, reflecting the unity of all religions and the moral duties of humanity.)
The Teachings of the Supreme Being
On the Unity of Religions
"I have established different religions across the world to guide humanity according to the customs and understandings of different eras. But the time has come to gather all these branches back to their common root. All religions are one, for there is only one God."
On the Divine Spark
"God is you, and you are God. The divine spark resides in every soul. To harm another is to harm a piece of the Divine."
On Love and Justice
"Love and Justice are the two wings that elevate the soul to heaven. Without love, there is no compassion; without justice, there is no order. Practice both, and you shall align with the Heavenly Way."
On Purity of Heart
"Do not seek Me only in grand temples. Seek Me first in the purity of your own heart. A truthful tongue, a compassionate hand, and an honest life are the greatest offerings you can bring."
On the World as One Family
"Let the people of the world cast aside their hatred and divisions. Humanity is a single family. Love your neighbors, care for the suffering, and recognize the brotherhood of all mankind."
"To cultivate oneself is to prepare the soul to return to its Divine Origin."
