Unity is Power

Meaning: Our ancient Rigved10/191/4 has given us the information that - Let all people have the same resolve. Let the hearts of all be one and there be mental unity so that they never remain unhappy.

Message: Man is a social animal. His relationship is with the society. He is a part of the society. He can carry on his life's activities only with the cooperation of the society. Social organization can make a weak person strong and a powerless man powerful. The saying in Sanskrit language is 'sanghe shakthiby kalowyuge' i.e. in this kaliyug (the sinful era) strength lies only in organization.

If there is an organization of even a few men with good qualities, it proves very beneficial for the society. Thin strands, when woven together, make a powerful rope with which even a mad-elephant can be kept in leash. Let men full of the feelings for public welfare become united and work if they want to remain as reputable men of the society.

Organizations of demoniac men can be seen everywhere. Even at the risk of lives, thieves, robbers, dacoits, corrupt men and adulterers help each other. Gangs of thieves and criminals go on spreading a polluted atmosphere by working internationally. Ancient sages laid a lot of emphasis on the strength of organization by understanding the importance of unity for fighting such calamities.

There are 3 basic elements of organization - unity of thought, unity of heart and unity of mind. The first requirement for any type of organization is that in all men wanting to be organized, there should be a unity of thinking. If there is no unity of thinking, if there are differences of opinion, then that organization can never be strong. Where there is a unity of thinking, there the aim and goal of everyone will be the same. That aim will keep them together. Second essential is the unity of the heart. The goal may be common but unless we work with a clean heart and full feelings, total success cannot be achieved despite the common objective for all.

Mental unity too, is extremely essential. The goal may be the same, there may be full sympathy in the heart, but if there is no involvement, no inspiration or no maturity of mind, then that organization also cannot become strong. When the mind is reined properly and the work pushed ahead with full mental concentration, only then can the organization remain properly organized and strong. There is a significant effect of the thoughts alone can throw man into the chasm of downfall. Man becomes what he thinks. Our thinking plays a very important role in all our work. That is why there should be constant effort at keeping the mind free from bad thoughts. We can protect ourselves from the temptations of evil thoughts only by firm will power.

For the creation of a healthy and lively society, only an organization of men, rich with tremendous spiritual power, can prove reliable.
