A higher synthesis

The procession of history has arrived on a crossroad where the whole human heritage should be claimed as ours  without making any distinction. The shallow boundaries of race,nations,religions and cultures will blur if I and thou attain to that uplifting vision which allows us to see each other as a part of one organic unity. The man whose welfare is the end to be achieved in this world by the political leaders and in the other world by priests is found to be liquidated at the altars of means for he still wages war, sends his sons to be butchered in the battlefield on the name of religions and nations. The mad mind never halts to see the causes of it's miseries on the contrary it moves bewildered from one holy city to another  to release itself from its besetting troubles and ends up being dissipated in vain efforts,and the worst of all is that it never looks where the truth is.

It's truth that liberates but you are fed lies with your mother's milk or rather half-truths and these half truths are more dangerous than lies for they carry the sense of being true thus you are conditioned. By and by it becomes ingrained and you never bother to see the urgency to break away from your conditioning. The conditioned mind is always seized with fears. A strong doubt is constantly lingering as an undercurrent beneath the calm surface of its belief. It clings hard to its belief and if it happens to find reason against its doctrine, it turns sour against the reason. Such a dull mentality can't conceive the idea of jumping into the oneness, the solidarity among  human beings. We should move along the fundamental line wherein we can have respect not only for human beings but also for being like rocks and trees.

there is a reference in Jesus life when a person asks him about Abraham. He replies, before Abraham ever was, I am. Here he implies of the eternal nature of consciousness that runs like a thread down through the Abraham to him and from him to Mohammed but unfortunately Christians will ignore to see the splendor of Mohammed and Muslims will not pay any heed to the message of Jesus which is pregnant with an immense meaning. The irony is that the messiah came to Jews who had been waiting for him but the veil of prejudices befogged their vision and they nailed the same person.

Whatever I have said may look improbable to you because much darkness has been shed on the unhealthy division of human beings by a few scoundrels who secretly dream to keep people in their fold and Their whole investment consists in setting people apart from one another, sometimes on the name of nations and sometimes on the pretext of religion.
