RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday addressed a gathering at New York’s Madison Square Garden for the event, titled ‘Universal Oneness Celebration’, which was organised by a group called American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue or AHEAD.
What is the destiny given to Bharat? Bharati is there to realise and, from time to time, make the world realise this unity in diversity. We have all material happiness, but this cannot satisfy us permanently, if I like. Or should I eat doughnuts in New York? So I will eat doughnuts. How many doughnuts can I eat at a time? I don’t know. After that, he will not require, he will not be able to even see that doughnut. Doughnut is the same. What changed? So material happiness is transitory. Cannot satisfy. And if abundance of material happiness is there, it may fail also.
We are one, and due to diversity, that oneness is decorated. And therefore, there is no satisfaction that they learn by experience. But anyway, a man may eat, at one sitting, a maximum of 50. And then even after eating 50 doughnuts. Tomorrow morning, I’m ready to eat 50 more.
He said, No, no, no, no, keep that away.
Here is a simple experiment or challenge for you: when you are having your lunch or dinner, let a hungry man stand before you and stare at your full platter with hungry eyes. Without avoiding his gaze, without driving him out, and without giving him a single particle of food, try to eat. You cannot do it. If you think in the right way, you go nearer to God. If you think in the wrong way, you go nearer to the animal kingdom. So the direction is important.
Because we are human beings, you can try, but you will not be able to do it,. Because they have been given the special quality of thinking, human beings are responsible for the world. They have also been given the understanding of right and wrong, and therefore, they can realise this unity.
The man who shapes his life according to the right direction becomes a responsible citizen of this kingdom of God.
