Has a unique feature...
We join our hands,
It’s a symbol of Oneness... and the recognition that the divinity in
me bows to the divinity in you... On this very day, at the same
place last year we pledged that we would never give shelter to
terror... determined, that this parasite called terrorism shall never
breed in our homes...

Today, we want our dream to be realized, to reawaken to the

power of love and of Oneness.

There is a sort of singularity, a kind of uniquesness, about different

things which cannot be called Oneness...

For example

If yogic meditation feels like waiting for something, then it is not

meditation at all...
Waiting in anticipation has at least two features - one which is
waiting, and the other which is waited for...
Yogic meditation is not divided...
 3

Such too is Oneness...

If Oneness is seen as a cluster of differences which are united

for a reason, then it will not perform...
That is like a fist of different fingers... that’s solidarity, not
Oneness...

Oneness is the hand to which the fingers belong... It's the kind of
singularity from which other singles spring out...
The fist is a union of diversities, the hand is the Oneness...

Common joys, common suffering, common pride, and common

life...
The common part presumes the diversity...
Only that can be called common if it originally belongs to a
diversity...

Oneness is more than common... Oneness is One Joy, One

Pain, One Pride, One Life...

Oneness is not a concept. It is a living reality... It is the essence of

our existence.

There is a word, which has its origins in the Bantu languages of

Africa – “​Ubuntu”​ ... When translated it means, “​I am because you
are​”. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that we owe our
self-hood to others... that we are bound together in ways we
can’t possibly fathom; that there is an inherent unity to mankind...
and we succeed, by sharing with others.

This is Oneness.

We are all part of a sacred web of life connected through cause

and effect.

English poet John Donne illuminates this point with surgical

precision when he says:

“​No man is an island entire of itself..”​

 4

Every cry of incapacitating hunger and unending poverty is our

shame... every shriek in hatred and discrimination is our defeat...
because we are all fundamentally unified at some level.

We share one another’s destiny...

We are human together or nothing at all.

This profound truth, however, continues to elude us. The feeling of

Oneness is withheld from our experience because of our
prejudices.

All our existing problems are a by-product of our prejudice.

Prejudices of all kinds – religious, caste, gender, economic –
They have been the main cause of division, hatred and bloodshed.

Look past these divisions, and recognize... that the soul in each
body is of the same basic nature – it is human – and therefore, it
is connected to other souls by this common attribute.

Mahatma Gandhi explained this beautifully...

“​I believe in the absolute Oneness of God and, therefore, also of

humanity. What though we have many bodies? We have but one
soul.”​

Our Upanishads tell us the fundamental maxim, of Tat Tvam Asi -

or how each individual is tied in with the larger truth.

All religions need to get together to define what they have in

common and work together for the benefit of humanity.

Like every drop of water has the qualities of the water... Every
human has the attributes of the sea of humanity...

This is one of the origins of Oneness... And perhaps the best in

its class...

A piece of ferrous metal can be melted and shaped in a

 5

foundry... Then it undergoes heat treatment to acquire whatever

strength it needs to perform its functions...

But no matter what shape, strength or task it does, if you bring it

in the presence of a magnet, it drops its task and shifts towards
the magnet...

The magnet works on the basic nature of the metal, not the
shape...

Such also is the Oneness of humanity...​

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Terrorism is not just about holding the power to kill us... it is
designed to destroy the integrity of our Oneness.
It is a desire to make children become slaves of their worldview of
victimhood.
It is a kind of collective selfishness which divides humanity into
parts and portions for eventual consumption... which means the
Oneness has no time to work on its main purpose - which is
Development and Growth.

There is reason in what, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said –

“e​very major religion of the world has similar ideals of love, the
same goal of benefiting humanity through spiritual practice, and
the same effect of making their followers into better human
beings.”

We have drawn lines, continents and nations on this planet... but

our planet is one... We have drafted scores of faiths and beliefs...
but HUMANKIND is one... Humanity is one...

Our Oneness, our unity, our singularity is not limited to fighting

terror and anti-social ideologies...

Our singularity is too vast to be shaped by limited horizons...

Our solidarity is too strong to be broken by cowards and
parasites...

We must define ourselves ​not​ by what we are against, but by what

 7

we are ​for​, and what can ​we be for​, if we aren’t for each other !!

Author Damian Mark Smyth says,

“we’re one, we’ve always been one, we’ll always be one, until we
think we are not.”
