The Rig Veda teaches unity. It exhorts all living beings to have good thoughts that are directed towards good ends. It insists that all hearts must be charged with the same good feelings. All beings must tread the path of Truth, for all are manifestations of the same Divinity. Some people believe that the lesson of unity of mankind is new and progress towards it is praiseworthy. In Rig Vedic times, the concept was proclaimed much more clearly and emphatically than it is now. All are sparks of the same flame of Divinity. The Rig Veda also demands that difference and distinction should not be imposed and a universal, inclusive outlook must be cultivated.
- Divine Discourse, Leela Kaivalya Vahini.
