Why is developing a sense of spiritual oneness necessary in today’s world? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today, so we may mend our ways.

In the economic sphere, when human desires are governed by righteousness, a Divine impulse will arise in man. When the quest for wealth and the concern for sensuous pleasures are based on dharma (righteousness), the mind will spontaneously turn towards God. In the vast cosmos, man is like a speck. Essentially, there is no conflict between man and creation. Just as a child is entitled to enjoy the milk from its mother and the bee is entitled to enjoy the honey from flowers, there can be no objection to man enjoying the resources of nature. But, as a result of uncontrolled desires and reckless exploitation of natural resources, Nature is exhibiting frightening disorders. Natural calamities like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts and floods are the result of disturbances in the balance of Nature. Mankind, today, can be likened to a foolish man who is wielding the axe at the branch of a tree on which he is sitting. Men have to develop a sense of spiritual oneness. Out of that sense of oneness, love will grow. Love alone can bind the whole of humanity into one unit.
