15th May, 1974, This is the last of Param Sant Kirpal Singh's circular
letters to his initiates. On the Unity of Man MAN, The highest rung of all creation, is
basically the same everywhere. All men are born the same way, receive all the
bounties of nature in a similar manner, have the same inner and outer
construction, and are controlled in the physical body by the same Power, called
differently as "God," "Word," Naam, etc. All men are the same as souls, worship the same God,
and are conscious entities; being of the same essence as God, they are members
of His family, and thus related to each other as brothers and sisters in Him. 2. All
awakened and enlightened Gurus and spiritual teachers who came to this world at
various points of time and in various parts, have invariably emphasized this
Truth in their own language and manner. According to them all men, despite their
distinctive social orders and denominational religions, form but one class. 3. Guru Nanak, the great teacher and Messiah of
peace, said: The highest order is to rise into Universal
brotherhood; Aye, to consider all creation your equal. 4. India's ancient mantra, Vasudeva kutumb bukam, also lays
down the same principle that the whole world is one family. However, it is
common knowledge that despite long and loud preaching by various religious and
social leaders professing the Unity of Man, the world today is torn by strains
and tensions of every kind, and presents a sorrowful spectacle indeed. More often than not we see individuals at war
with one another and brothers at drawn daggers with their own kith and kin.
Similarly, nations are constantly involved in conflicts and clashes with each
other, thus spoiling the peace and tranquility. It seems that the root cause of
this present-day situation is, that the Gospel of Unity of Man, however well
accepted in theory, has not struck home to humanity at large and is not put
into practice. It is only a form of slogan-mongering done with calculated
motives. 5. It is universally accepted that the highest
purpose of this human body is to achieve union of the soul with the Oversoul or
God. It is on this account that the physical body is said to be the True Temple
of God wherein He Himself resides. All religions spell out the ways and means
of meeting the Oversoul or God; and all the ways and means so suggested,
however different looking, lead to the same destination, so that one need not
change from one religion to another for this purpose. One has only to
steadfastly and genuinely tread upon the lines drawn by the torchbearers for
achieving the goal. 6. It is necessary, however, that greater
effort should be made toward the realization of Unity of Man. We have to
realize that every human being is as much a member of the brotherhood as we
are, and is obviously entitled to the same rights and privileges as are
available to us. We must therefore make sure that while our own children make
merry, our neighbor's son does not go without food; and if we really practice
this, much present-day conflict will be eliminated. Each of us will develop
mutual recognition, respect and understanding for the other, thus wiping out
the gross inequities of life. In this process, as the mutual recognition and
understanding develops, it becomes a vital force generating a reservoir of
fellow feeling which in turn will bring culture and ultimately humility—the
basic need of the hour. 7. The holding of the World Conference on Unity
of Man in February 1974 in New Delhi was a clarion call to the world. This
conference was perhaps the first of its kind since the time of Ashoka the
Great, held at the level of Man with the noble purpose of fostering universal
brotherhood leading to universal harmony. This message of the Unity of
Man must reach every human heart irrespective of religious and social labels so
that it comes home to every individual, enabling him to actually put it in
practice in life and pass it on to others; in this way, the entire human
society could be reformed. Truly speaking, Unity already exists: as
man—born in the same way, with the same privileges from God; and as soul—a drop
of the Ocean of All Consciousness called God, Whom we worship by various names;
but we have forgotten this Unity. The lesson has only to be revived. 8. The so-called worldwide
campaign for Unity of Man is not intended to affect the existing social and
religious orders in any manner. In fact, each one has to continue to work
for the upliftment of man in its own way as before. Additionally,
however, this campaign has to carry the clarion call of Unity of Man to as
large a mass of humanity through its own vehicle as it can, so that the message
cuts across the barriers of misunderstanding and mutual distrust and strikes
home to every human heart. Further, the said campaign has to be
carried out not by intellectual wrestling, but with optimum
desire and anxiety to put the Unity of Man into practice so that it becomes
real living force. The method of propagation has to be by self-discipline
and self-example rather than by declaration and proclamations. 9.It would be prudent to clarify that the
campaign of Unity of Man has tobe carried out above the level of religions
without in any way affecting any religious or social orders. It has to obtain
in practice the blessings and support of all those who believe in the Gospel of
Unity of Man, and could give it strength by taking this Gospel to every human
heart around them and convincing them of the need of its acceptance in daily
life. It will neither be tagged with Ruhani Satsang 1
nor with any other similar organization 2. The enthusiasm
of its admirers will be the real force working behind the campaign. 10. It is therefore earnestly requested that
all those who believe in the Unity of Man and wish to carry its message must
work ceaselessly so that it may reach the lonest corner of the world. A World
Conference on Unity of Man may be arranged in the West as was done at Delhi in
the East—both ultimately work as one whole. Param Sant Kirpal Singh Kommentar: Sant Kirpal Singh beschrieb nach der Unity of Man-Konferenz im vorangegangenen Rundschreiben vom 15 .Mai 1974, ausdrücklich, dass diese Bewegung „Unity of Man“ keine Organisation oder eingetragener Verein sein wird, wo die Menschen gesammelt werden sollen. Einige Organisationen und eingetragene Vereine veröffentlichen nun seit kurzem dieses obige Rundschreiben auf ihren Internetsites, da es nicht länger der Öffentlichkeit vorenthalten werden konnte, um sich selbst als seriös und glaubwürdig dem einzelnen unwissenden Wahrheitssucher gegenüber nach Jahren zu präsentieren. Anmerkung
/ Remarks:
(2) E Also the Organisations that have been created and been registered in His Name after the 21th August 1974, are not the spiritual platform created by Param Sant Kirpal Singh, before and after his physical departure, even all of them use, and some of them misuse His Name. Many people have been misguided since then. D Auch die Organisationen, welche geschaffen und in seinem Namen nach dem physischen Weggang von Param Sant Kirpal Singhs am 21 August 1974, registriert wurden, sind nicht die spirituellen Plattformen, welche durch Param Sant Kirpal Singh geschaffen wurden, auch wenn alle seinen Namen benutzen und, oder auch missbrauchen. Viele Menschen wurden schon seither fehlgeleitet. |
