Sisters and Brothers of America.

It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and 
cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in name of the most 
ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother
of religions; and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu
people of all classes and sects.

My thanks also to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to
the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off 
nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different lands the idea of
toleration.

I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance
and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration but 
we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has 
sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations 
of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the
purest remnant of the Israelites who came to Southern India and took refuge
with us in very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by 
Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and
is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation.

I will quote to you brethren a few lines from a hymn which I remember to 
have repeated from my earliest childhood, which is every day repeated by 
millions of human beings: 

\begin{quote}
As the different streams having their sources in different places all 
mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men 
take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or
straight, all lead to Thee.
\end{quote}

The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies ever 
held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world of the 
wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita: 

\begin{quote}
Whosoever comes to me, though whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are
struggling through paths which in the end lead to me.
\end{quote}

Sectarianism, bigotry, and it's horrible descendant, fanaticism, have 
long possessed this beautiful Earth. They have filled the earth with 
violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed 
civilization, and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for
these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than
it is now.

But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled
this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all
fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of
all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same
goal.
