One day we will be together
All spiritual paths are one, beneath different names. Yoga is one yoga, though centers and lineages have distinct identities, like children in a kindergarten who each have a name. All families are one family; all humans are one human, despite different colors or bodies. Our soul, or ātmā, is the same. Conflict arises from forgetting this unity, creating negative karma. Respect all paths and traditions. Do not think your own is superior. Life is like water: individual drops from clouds or rivers ultimately return to and merge with the one ocean. In this age, confusion comes from mixing things improperly and giving children too many distractions instead of true connection to family and tradition. See the single reality within all diversity.
"All children are born into what we call a kindergarten. In the kindergarten, we see all children as very beautiful and very good."
"One drop, a very fine drop, again comes together... When this drop falls into the ocean, that cloud and that drop are not anymore; it is only ocean."
