Collecting Evidence of the Divine

To love the stranger, to invite the stranger into our lives, to hold space for the “other” as a guest, is a spiritual act that runs deep. It’s not just about offering food or shelter—it’s about recognizing the sacred in the person standing before us. It’s about seeing God in them, treating them as God. This is true in the Hindu tradition, where the stranger is known as a form of God, and it’s recognized and practiced in many spiritual teachings throughout the world.
