Cultivate Oneness

HYDERABAD: Our country now places great importance on its advancement as an economic power, but unless we also put emphasis on our growth as a spiritual power, we will never be able to achieve true greatness as a nation.

A nation that takes care of its bereft, its poorest, its disadvantaged, its homeless, its orphans and its widows who can lay claim to a moral leadership worthy of mention.

Though there is a lot to learn from the West, especially their advancements in science and technology, we need to create the right change within us so that India can emerge once again as the world’s spiritual teacher. The rest of the world will stand to gain from this development.

“India is a splendid example to showcase this crucial concept as we have, over the last two millennia”, consistently told all our visitors to come sit with us, to live with us happily. Manav Ekta’ is a concept of oneness to share with people all over the world. This is a completely Indian thought and this truth has not totally disappeared from our country but is only lying submerged.

With such wisdom existing within our country, why is it that we are not listening to this simple truth and following it? Such wisdom can help us erase disparities arising from a misunderstanding of our diverse culture and religions, thus uniting the humanity of India through a spiritual approach, proving people can live together despite all differences.
