We Should Have Tolerance For Others
People fight with each other on the basis of caste, creed, colour, religion, nationality and so on. We all are creations of one God Almighty. But the man has created so many barriers and is playing havoc. There is so much of violence, division among mankind. On the other hand, we have seen throughout that saints, sages and prophets always wanted and still want that people should live in harmony. The slogan of the mission is “Harmony in Oneness” and it sincerely wants that we all should live in harmony. We should have harmonious relations with each other. There is no place of discord. The remains of the broken Berlin wall are still maintained and I happened to read an inscription on them that “that world is too small for walls” i.e., there is no place of walls. However, the man’s thoughts create barriers of ego, prejudice, ignorance, etc. In his heart and mind. These barriers become visible from his actions. We have to pray to God Almighty that good sense prevails, that people live in harmony, that people help and love each other and do not resort in snatching, that people do not create hell in other’s lives. We should have tolerance for others. We should have compassionate to others.
People Are Carrying The Baggage Of Ignorance
A mother scolds her son for having eaten a sweeper’s food and tells him that he had become a low caste because of this. The son reacts to this and says that the sweeper has been eating from our kitchen for many years and by now he must have become a Brahmin. If by eating sweeper’s food once I became a low caste, then the sweeper who had been eating food from our kitchen for last 10 years, he must have been transformed to the same caste as ours. Ignorance of such kind in the name of caste, religion and prophets has been prevailing for centuries. The society has been divided on these lines due to which society and the country at large is suffering. As a matter of fact the sole reason is ignorance and the perception based on this ignorance. Once, people were sitting in a queue to offer prayers. One person out of them saw that the person sitting ahead of him was wearing a short shirt due to which a part of his body was exposed. So, he pulled his shirt to cover the exposed part. Then a chain started; the next man did likewise, and everyone started pulling shirt of the man sitting ahead. When the person at the end in queue was asked as to why did he pull the shirt of the person sitting ahead of him, he said that the person ahead would know it better, and so on. Nobody knew as how it started. There is a saying wherein two eye witnesses of the same accident gave surprisingly different versions. People are carrying the baggage of ignorance. Therefore, saints awaken and caution us that we better realise the truth and know our real identity and position ourselves in the self. That is why it is said” Self realization through God realization”.
