Though you see variegated forms with different shades of colours, yet there is a definite unity behind them. A philosopher or serious thinker is struck with wonder. He has a different, sensitive pair of eyes to behold the mysterious universe of sounds and colours. He feels and sees unity everywhere. For a scientist the world is a mass of electrons or force or energy.
All objects are the products of the five elements. The five elements are reducible to one element, Akasa. Earth is gross form of water. Earth gets dissolved or involved in water. When you feel intense heat, you get profuse perspiration. Then again all energies such as electricity, magnetism, etc., can be reduced to one energy - Prana. They get involved in the Cosmic Prana. All minds can be reduced to one cosmic mind. Though expressed in different languages, the thought-image is one only. Cows have different colours. But the colour of milk is one. There are different kinds of roses; but the scent is one. The eyes, ears, tongues are different but the power of sight, hearing and taste is one.
The feeling of sincerity is one though nations are different. When mercy, love, friendship, feeling of brotherhood operate, all are united at heart. There is oneness everywhere. There is only one language, the language of the heart. There is only one Dharma, viz., Sanatana Dharma. There is only one Law - the Law of Cause and Effect. There is only one religion - the religion of love or the religion of Vedanta. Feel the oneness everywhere. All diversities, all differences, all qualities, which are Mayaic or mental creations will now totally vanish.
Unity is eternal life. Diversity is death. Unity brings concord, harmony, supreme peace. Diversity brings discord, disharmony and restlessness. Unity is Divine life in spirit. Diversity is Asuric life in matter. May unity be our centre, ideal and goal! May we all attempt in right earnest to secure an immortal life of supreme joy in Advaitic unity of consciousness!
