Whole World is One Family
Program with Swamiji from Atlanta, USA Since childhood, in many traditional cultures, people were taught to see everyone, even unknown persons, as a family member.
Elderly people were addressed as 'mother' or 'father', younger ones as 'sister' or 'brother'. In modern times, with few exceptions, this culture is almost gone. It had a uniting effect and no one would have done anything bad to you. This kind of education protected many disturbances in the society. The western world now looks different. The whole world is a market - business. This means duality, greed and cheating others. We steal in hidden form. In spiritual books it is said: 'We are all one God's family' or 'We are all family of one God'. If we develop in our consciousness such a clear picture - that the whole world is one family - automatically we are in peace; we feel compassion and love.
