There has been talk of achieving equality in society. The equal distribution of wealth through socialism is declared as the ideal, but is it possible to bring about such equality? Even if material wealth is distributed equally, can you ensure equality in desires and aspirations?... You must look beyond material things to the Supreme Being who is the provider of all things. When you recognize the One as present in all beings, and respect everyone as a manifestation of the Divine, you will achieve equality in the true sense of the term.
