On what basis should we judge India? According to the old scriptures whole World is one family

A spiritual discourse on India's universal wisdom and divine unity.

"Therefore, in Hinduism, it is said in scriptures thousands of years old: 'Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam'—the whole world is one family."

"There cannot be two gods; there is only one God, the one creator of all creatures on this planet... Thus, it is said: unity in diversity."

The speaker reflects on India as a holy land of divine incarnations, lamenting how modern materialism causes unhappiness by neglecting ancient spirituality. He expands the concept of wisdom beyond nations, citing Hungary's contributions, and articulates a core Hindu principle: the world is one family under a single, creative God who manifests in diverse, unique forms. The talk concludes that universal acceptance of this truth would resolve human conflicts.

Recording location: Hungary, Szeged, Weekend seminar

India is a holy land where numerous incarnations of God have taken place, and it still has much to offer the world. While the present situation in India may not seem appreciable, a country should not be judged by a short period of time. The modern way of thinking has people chasing a materialistic life, causing them to neglect the ancient spirituality and heritage left by their ancestors. The result is unhappiness, even in India. Yet wisdom is not confined to one nation. Hungary, for instance, has given birth to many scientists and Nobel laureates, with Szeged being particularly renowned. This knowledge does not belong to a single country; it belongs to the entire globe. Therefore, in Hinduism, it is said in scriptures thousands of years old: "Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam"—the whole world is one family. The entire world is the one family of one God. There cannot be two gods; there is only one God, the one creator of all creatures on this planet. It is only that one God, that divine consciousness, which designed this beautiful world. It is that one divine consciousness which created the many different colors and colorful flowers. Every leaf on every tree has a different design. Every living entity has a different form; no one can be compared to another. There are humans, animals, birds, fish, insects—countless forms. Every creature is unique in itself. Such a beautiful human body, which only that divine creator, that heavenly architect, could produce in nine months. Thus, it is said: unity in diversity. There is only one God to whom we all belong, and that God, from time to time, incarnates in different forms and different places. This is reality; this is the ultimate truth. If humanity were to accept this equally, there would be no problems. --- Recording location: Hungary, Szeged, Weekend seminar
