ONE TRUTH

There is only one God,
The Omnipresent, Omnipotent,
Omniscient Lord.
There is only one Religion,
The religion of love.
There is only one commandment,
The commandment of truthfulness.
There is only one law,
The law of cause and effect.
There is only one caste,
The caste of humanity.
There is only one language,
The language of heart or the
language of silence.

TRUE HAPPINESS: RECOGNITION OF ONENESS OF ALL LIFE

The ancient Vedas have from time immemorial sought to bring home to mankind the lory message of the unity of existence, the lothess of all life. We have the declaration in the Vedas: Duality is the cause of all sorrow. That is, from duality springs fear, great fear; and Truth is non-dual, One without a second, from which springs happiness. And all that is, the entire universe that we see, is nothing other than the Universal Reality. That alone appears as the entire Universe. That alone is. All is, verily, the Absolute Reality, the Supreme Truth. This two when put together bring the message to us that in Truth there is no duality, and if we live in Truth we shall feel oneness spontaneously, from the very fact of our being based upon the consciousness of Truth which is Oneness

My sincere prayer is : May this essential spirit of oneness of man, this oneness of all life, be recognised, accepted and expressed in all our life, in all our behaviour towards one another. Then, indeed, the ideal of oneness will be a glorious and happy fact. May God bless mankind! May God inspire all people to feel His Presence indwelling all names and forms! May God bless you!
