My Dear Ones,


I am always amazed to see how we are naturally drawn to love and appreciate diversity in some cases and yet reject it in others. We love blending colours, especially in garments and household decor. We love listening to different voices blending in a choir or the music of varied instruments in a symphony. We love the diversity of plant and animal life in Nature. Yet, we are challenged when it comes to appreciating different cultures, languages, beliefs, personalities and other aspects of our human existence. Is it possible that we can also appreciate this diversity, knowing it is part of our beautiful and great heritage as human beings? Living in harmony as a society implies appreciating all aspects of our diversity. We are born with different personalities, talents, physical appearances, likes and dislikes. Can we live in harmony with this diversity that surrounds us, seeing the beauty that it is? We are challenged as a world today to unite, as global communication has brought so close together. Can we make that leap as citizens of one world?

I leave you with these questions to reflect upon today. Each day in our own lives we see that diversity before us in a real way in our homes, workplaces and social life and we are challenged. How do we respond? Do we create and support conflict and segregation or do we support and encourage harmony and cooperation?

Contemplate it. I will continue on this subject in my next message.


Yours in service,
Vasudeva
