The Unity of Humanity
We are all one human family despite different lands and languages. India is a large and ancient land. People have moved across the world from places like India and Europe to countries such as Australia. All these places are connected. People may look different or speak various languages, but we share the same human form. Historical conflicts, like killings in Australia, occurred when people failed to see this unity. Governments and the United Nations speak of countries for all people. When we meet, we see others who dress like us and work hard, yet we sometimes claim a country as only our own. In truth, we are guests everywhere. When we die, it does not matter what country or religion we had. A dog, a cow, a buffalo—all die. Then, who remains? Therefore, we must love all persons regardless of color or origin. All faiths—Christian, Muslim, Yogi, Hindu—are good. We are human with good thinking, but in the end, we all return to the same nothingness. We are together as friends and brothers.
"we should love all persons, little or the height, or this black or gourd or... Something, but we are human, and this is a human."
"When we will die, and die much, but then we don’t know... There is nothing. There’s nothing."
