“One of the greatest powers in all fields of life is unity.” – Radhanath Swami
The topic of unity has been pondered, reflected, and pursued since time immemorial—how to create unity within this world? One of the greatest powers in all fields of life is unity.
But there is a fundamental problem: there are so many diversified distinctions between living beings. Everyone has their own conception of their identity, and this creates a natural conflict among those who look different, think different, or act different.
There has always been conflict between the castes, not only in India, but all over the world, though the castes may go by different names in different places. There is the educational class, there is the administrative class, there is the working class, and there is the class of trade and agriculture in every society. Also, there have always been distinctions and conflicts between nationalities,
between races, between religions, between generations, between sexes, and between philosophers.
On practically every level of the world, there is reason for conflict. Even within a family, there’s the older brother and the younger brother and that creates conflict.
“As long as everyone has their separate, independent interests, there will be conflicts.” – Radhanath Swami
