| Diversities in attitudes and styles of life are natural and ought to be welcomed. There is no need for an ironclad hard faith. Rivalry among those following different paths cannot bring peace and prosperity to any country. Without freedom of faith, the world cannot progress. Bharath (India) taught that a small section of society can never command the inexhaustible resources of the world, and that for the effective functioning of the community it is necessary to divide different types of tasks to particular groups of people, and let each section of the community contribute its share to the common good. The key that the ancient sages visualized is the ONE that underlies the many. This is the most precious revelation: “Ekam sath, vipraah bahudha vadanthi” (The One alone exists; wise men describe th at in manifold ways). - Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 4, "The Miracle of Miracles". |
