A man told his wife that he would be leaving for Dubai. The wife asked him to get some jewellery from there. On hearing this, the man quipped that he was in fact leaving for London. The wife in turn asked him to get some dresses from there. The husband told his wife that he was going to Paris. The wife than asked him to get some good perfumes. The husband in his irritation said that he was going to hell. At once the wife retorted that by the grace of God she had everything and asked her husband to take good care of himself there. That is how relationships are completely based on selfishness. In nutshell saints inspire and awaken us so that we wake up from the slumber of ignorance that would cost us dearly. It would weigh heavy on us. We shall harm ourselves and others. We should take the journey of life with cooperation, love, establishing, live unitedly and strengthen human values.

Oneness is an understanding, thought process and mental make-up which when understood and lived, brings peace to oneself and happiness for others. But today, we see in the world that man is divided on the basis of caste, creed, color, religion, nationality and ethnicity. Saints and sages have always made an effort so that everyone lives in harmony. The slogan of ‘oneness’ was conceived in Birmingham during Nirankari International Samagam and prior to that ‘harmony’ was chosen as a topic in Symphony Hall, Birmingham. Saints always wish that we live in harmony and cohesion. Nobody can live in isolation. Mahatma Gandhi had also said that no culture can exist in isolation. Each human being depends upon others whether they are family members in the society or wherever they live in this world. Saints explained that harmonious living means that despite having separate hearts beating in each body, our inner feeling must be that of compassion and empathy-sharing pain of others, a feeling of sharing love with one another, and making this world a beautiful place.
