Unity in Diversity
Whether we pray in a temple or a mosque, we
will all realize that each person, irrespective of the religion into which he
or she was born, is praying to one God. We will recognize that God is one, whether he is called God, Allah,
Jehovah, Wahiguru, Parmatma, the Oversoul, the creative power of the universe,
or any other name. We will see unity in
the diversity of life. It will not
matter to us whether someone is Hindu or Muslim, Sikh or Jain, Christian or
Jewish, Buddhist or Parsi. We will
recognize God’s Light in each being, whether their outer skin is black, white,
or tan. We will know that God resides in
every person, whether born in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North
America or South America. We will
realize that the same Light of God is in each of them.
We will appreciate the differences caused by
tradition and cultures, but realize there is a unity in all living beings.
