"Know that all humans are repositories of Divine Light.

Never inquire about what class of society they come from.

In the hereafter there are no classes."

— Guru Granth Sahib, 349

I really love this verse, especially the first line — All humans are repositories of Divine Light. That really resonates with me.

 I also like how it says "In the hereafter there are no classes" ~ it reminds me of how in Mormon temples (and I'm sure other religious buildings) everyone dresses alike, all in white, no matter their rank. There are no distinguishing features, no special places to sit, nothing that would distinguish one person from another based on class or wealth or status. It's a good reminder - "In the hereafter there are no classes."

As Dr. Gaskill says, "To disregard or look down upon another human being because of their class, race, sex, or religion is to entirely miss God's nature, as revealed in the face of all His creatures." 

This reminds me of two Bible verses:

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: 

for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, 

and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matt. 5:45

&

"Lord, when saw we thee...? 

And the King shall answer and say unto them... 

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, 

ye have done it unto me." Matt. 25:37, 40; see also

Is there any segment of this earth's population that you hold prejudice against? Any color, race, class, religion, or sex that you look down upon, or consider inferior to yourself?

Are you equal in your treatment of, and love for, all people — regardless of their class, race, or religion? 

Do you believe that God loves all of His children equally?
