Two: There is one Master, the Guiding Spirit of all souls, who constantly leads all followers towards the light.
Three: There is one Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of nature, which truly enlightens all readers.
Four: There is one Religion, the unswerving progress in the right direction towards the ideal, which fulfills the life's purpose of every soul.
Five: There is one Law, the law of Reciprocity, which can be observed by a selfless conscience together with a sense of awakened justice.
Six: There is one human Brotherhood, the Brotherhood and Sisterhood which unites the children of earth indiscriminately in the Fatherhood of God.
Seven: There is one Moral Principle, the love which springs forth from self-denial, and blooms in deeds of beneficence.
Eight: There is one Object of Praise, the beauty which uplifts the heart of its worshipper through all aspects from the seen to the unseen.
