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.
