Unity in Diversity

Unity in Diversity

To activate all the many lights, switches and appliances in your home, there is only one electric current. Likewise, we are all connected to each other by the principle of Divinity, mostly referred to as the “Divine Self”. It is a part of us that is connected to God, and at that level, we are all connected.

All religions acknowledge this fact: Judaism refers to it as “Teshuvah”, Christianity – the “Spirit”; Hinduism – the “Atman”. Other religions refer to it as the “Soul”.

In light of this Truth, we need to recognise the Divinity in all and accord the courtesy and respect due to each of us. All of us are in Him and the God in one is the same as in every other being.  We are like many waves on the face of an underlying ocean. Make efforts to comprehend this Oneness, this unity in diversity. We only see physical differences in people through our ignorance, but forget to recognise our underlying unity.
