âTolerance is a poor word to describe that spirit of active co-operation and mutual appreciation with which an illumined mind may be expected to respond. The world tolerance carries with it a ring of condescending pity; a mere enduring of mistaken notions in other creeds. Normally one tolerates only when one is unable to eliminate that object tolerated. Or one does so as one tolerates as nuisance; an irritating insect but not worth the bother of chasing out of the window. Such an empty and and formal reaction can hardly be the fruit of so rich an experience as Enlightenment.â
