Mankind can win happiness only through unity and not through
diversity. If thoughts and feelings run along the routes of
distinction and division, happiness is beyond reach, and peace cannot
be experienced. Consider the One Indivisible Ocean as the goal.
Then, what does the direction of the flow matter? How does the
name matter? They merge in the self-same sea, is it not?
All devotees and aspirants, adopting the path of yoga or devotion or
peace, right action, truth, and love, when they reach the ocean of
Grace at last, the Name and Form fade away and distinctions disappear.
They are blessed with the merger in the sea of Peace. So unity
must ever be kept before the eye. Never nourish the ideas of
difference, of distinct names and forms of the Lord. Such ideas
are obstacles for the attainment of joy. Avoid these obstacles
and develop the equal vision!
