Unity

True spirituality lies in knowing the Self.  But you are unable to know the Self as you identify yourself with the body.  Identification with the body gives rise to ego.  One with ego cannot know the reality.  Your welfare and also of others will be ensured when you have a firm conviction that all are Divine.  Develop the spirit of unity.  You cannot expect divinity to manifest in you unless you cultivate unity.  The Vedas teach the lesson of unity:

Let us all move together, let us all grow together,

Let us all stay united and share our knowledge,

Let us all live together with friendship and harmony.

(Telugu song)
