You should treat your fellowmen as your own brothers. You deserve to be called a human being only when you cultivate the spirit of unity. Where there is no unity, there you will find enmity and hatred. Subsequently, the principle of love is lost altogether. There should be unity and love not only among brothers but also between the husband and wife, and all relationships within the family. Your foremost duty is to share His love with others. Only then can you realise the significance of the noble dictum: “Brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God”. But, unfortunately, such idealism is not found today. Even if you do not believe in the fatherhood of God, but you must have faith in the brotherhood of man; practice it and experience bliss therefrom. Our country, Bharat will regain its pristine glory only when we achieve such unity.
