In this creation the brilliantly luminous sun and the insignificant ant hold the same importance of existence All of these have combined to create the world family
In our present environment there are many divisive tendencies splitting humanity into mutually belligerent groups. Spirituality must foster a natural affinity among people, to unite all humanity.
There should be one universal legal and criminal code for the universal humanity. It is not at all desirable that there be different laws for different people, different countries, different communities. All laugh in happiness, cry in sorrow, beat their breasts in mourning. Why must we separate human from human with a thousand and one [...]
Lack of unity among the members of society because of too much self-interest in the individual members, formation of sects for economic advantages, lack of understanding of others, not only brings the downfall of society but also will wipe it completely from the face of the earth. Instances of so many sects and empires disappearing [...]
Every person cries out in pain, everyone feels pleasure when there are occasions of joy and happiness. Maybe in different geographical, cultural, social and other environments, the lifestyle of different human groups may vary; maybe, a few special psychic traits in those groups may assert themselves. But fundamentally, their mental existences flow along the same [...]
The flowers of different gardens will unite into a bouquet which will be more, not less, beautiful than the individual flowers themselves.
Human society comprises various races. There is no reason whatever to recognise one race as superior to another race. The external differences in constitutions among these human groups cannot alter their basic human traits – love and affection, pleasure and pain, hunger and thirst.
In the field of spirituality This human society is one Whatever people do in their spirituality
Let us move together, let us radiate the same thought-wave, let us come to know our minds together Let us share our wealth without differentiation, like sages of the past, so that all may enjoy the universe
The meaning of spiritual practice is to look upon every human being, every object of this universe as one integral entity. To jeopardise the unity of the human race by creating factions is not the purpose of spirituality.
What is sadhana? Sadhana is the transformation of fearful love into fearless love. This meditation (sadhana) for complete merger, for unification, starts with fearful love. Love must be there. Unless and until there is love, there cannot be unification.
This human society is one – it is a singular entity. It cannot be divided, it must not be divided. And we mustn’t let anyone create divisive tendencies.
No power in heaven and earth can separate me from my children. Even if this universe comes to an end, I will be with them in the expressionless Cosmos. My children – be they gentle, be they naughty – they are mine.
Be one with Him and know everything. If you want to know all, try to know One. If you try to know all, you won’t be able to know anything.
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly with one wing.
We should not forget even for a moment that this whole animate world is a large family in which nature has not assigned any property to any particular individual. Individual ownership has been created by selfish opportunists so that they might take advantage of the defects of this system in order to grow fatter in [...]
A common philosophy of life demands a clear conception in the human mind that the development of the human personality means an evolution in all the three spheres – physical, metaphysical or mental, and spiritual. Some objective materialist thinkers have held the opinion that spirituality is a utopian philosophy, bereft of practicalities pertaining to actual [...]
