The Power of Oneness

As long as I believe I am separate from you based on gender, age, colour, race, caste, class and educational level etc., I will find it difficult to rid myself away from Ego, prejudice and competition.
It is the realization that we are ONE because we come from the same source i.e the Universe , that creates in me the feeling that I am as much a part of you as we are of the Universe.
As long as I have this feeling of ONENESS towards everything that shares this planet, this universe , I will find it easier to contribute because every good I do to you will do good to me and every bad I do, will eventually hit me.
When I water my plants and see my plants grow, a part of me has grown. When I manage to wipe someone’s tear and bring a smile on the person’s face, I indeed have managed to bring a smile on my face. When we work towards a cause, we create better circumstances, better opportunities and a better world.
In our journey of life we may meet people who may be bitter towards us. It may be so because they have always encountered bitterness themselves. Use this as an opportunity to give someone their first taste of goodness. Because the fact is WE ARE ONE.
