You should see the Divine in everyone, including your enemies

The Cosmic Spirit is only one, though it may be called by many names and worshipped in varied forms. You should see the Divine in everyone, including those whom you may regard as aliens or enemies. True spirituality consists in this sense of spiritual oneness. It can arise only when the attachment to the body is given up, which can be achieved when you develop the conviction that you are the Atma (the Self). When people in general develop this feeling, there will be a great transformation in mankind. Peace should spread from the individual to the family, to society, the nation and the world and not in the reverse way.

- Sai Baba
Divine Discourse, 5th October 1997.
