Unity
God’s
Plan is to Bring Unity in the Universe
Sometimes
people ask me, “Where are you from?” I answer, “I am from God,
where are you from?” They usually stop for a moment, and then
say, “If you are from God, I am from God too.” “Well, then we
are from the same place, and we are one. There is no
separation between us.”

The
earth has been divided by categories and concepts that we have
created. The human likes to categorize everything because if
they can categorize something, they can relate to it much easier.
But in order to become a united world, a united people of the planet
earth, we have to go beyond these concepts.
The fastest way
to do it is through the Spirit. If we realize that all the
great religions of the world have come from one Source and one
Spirit, then a lot of concepts are going to break down.
If the many
people who are called Hindus, or Christians, or Jews, or Moslems, or
Bahai’s, or Jains, or whatever religion they are from, realize that
all their truth has come from the same Source, they would have to
realize that they are all children of the same Spirit, wouldn’t
they?
***
See,
there are a lot of religions, and there is only one Reality.
If we all accept there is one Reality, and that Reality has sent all
these religions, we are beyond labels. The moment we accept
that each of them is a part of a greater truth, we no longer belong
to that part, because the whole is greater than the parts. So
we go beyond any labels.

We
are talking about unity. Some people cannot imagine it because
they separate one another in so many ways – ours and theirs, this is
my religion, this is their religion. Now people are waking up
more and more and seeing that this is not working. Probably
years ago it would have worked. Now they see, if something
happens to another country or another nation, it is going to affect
them. They have no escape. They are very much a part of
the interdependent earth, and they cannot escape being affected by
the actions of other people – their beliefs, their value systems,
their economical systems, their social systems, their intellectual
systems. All of this is affecting them. They have no
escape.
They do not
understand it, there is such confusion. Each culture truly
believes they have the truth. They really believe they are the
way, and what they have been inspired with is the only way.
You know this by listening to a Hindu, or a Buddhist, or a Moslem,
or a Christian. They really believe, they are sincere in what
they do and what they are following. Yet, all of them preach
that there is one God who sent all these religions to humanity.
Then, at the same time, the other persons’ God does not know what He
is talking about – only their God knows the truth.
So although they
want to create unification, each wants to convert the other to their
own religion. They say the only way that peace can come on
earth is for everyone to become a Moslem. The only way that
humanity can be saved is for everyone to become a Christian.
The only way that God is going to bring that everlasting peace is to
fulfill the Jewish expectation of being the chosen people.
Then what is the
truth? What has God really created in the last 12,000 years?
Who is the chosen person? The chosen person is the person who
follows God’s Will. Yet, who knows what God’s Will is?
That is where
the Mission comes in. Our teaching comes to humanity with a
definite answer. We do not want to convert each of you to one
religion. Each person, each religion, each Prophet had a
message for humanity. Each of these messages, although they
have great truth, are not complete without the rest of the messages.
Each of these messages belong to the greater truth which we call,
the Eternal Divine Path.
