"Let the pavilions of religion be ground to bits, let the bricks of temples, mosques, guruduaras, churches be burned in blind fire, and upon those heaps of destruction let lovely flower gardens grow, spreading their fragrance. let children's schools and study halls grow.
For the welfare of humanity, now let prayer halls be turned into hospitals, orphanages, universities, Now let prayer halls become academies of art, fine art centers, scientific research institutes. Now let prayer halls be turned to golden rice fields in the radiant dawn, Open fields, rivers, restless seas. From now on, let religion's other name be humanity."
