VASUDAIVA KUTUMBAKAM
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam The purport of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is that every living being on planet earth belongs to a single family and therefore all of us are the members of the same universal family . This is the spiritual and positive perception. But in materialistic life , we find many separate families each one having its own family members . All are interested in the welfare of their own families because everyone considers different from each other from the materialistic perspective .
In spirituality , all those ( excepting the kingdom of the plants) reproduced from females , are considered belonging to a single family . In spiritual angle , every member of the family is perceived as one ( Athman or Soul ). The remaining things ( Anaathmas ) in the cosmos are many . By perceiving the one family concept , the people lose resentment and prejudice towards the fellow members depicting positive mentality . We need to know that all beings are temporarily visitors to this planet . It is something like the people mingling with other co - travelers in a train journey . Probably , it is true that the journey is very short and the travellers do not have enough time for prejudice , quarrel etc.
When we think on the same lines , our lives on this planet is too short compared to the time span of the existence . Then why should there be differences in us , especially among the human beings ? Is it that we have not accepted others as co- travelers or visitors ? Do we think that we have permanent connections for ever together ? Irrespective of the connection that we had in the past or we will have in the future , we should experience that we are all together here in the present .
Addressing the kind of disparity observed in the above , Shivaguru expounds that Spiritual positivity attained from Shivality training at SSBSSF transforms the minds of the seekers from lower to higher perceptions to experience the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam , the single - family concept that is beyond time . The human lifespan of about 100 years is considered miniscule and of little value . When this perception is developed in us , we will begin to experience that the life is too short in this materialistic world and we neither shy away from loving others nor we have time to create prejudice , grudge , jealousy etc. towards our fellow travelers . Everyone can definitely maintain love if the association is for a shorter period . Though we cannot take care of all the members belonging to the single family , we should refrain from causing disturbance in family .
We have come here to live in peace with love for others and we should let others too to live in peace till the end of our journey in this planet . The motto of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is ' Live and let live ' , ' Khud jiyo , auron ko bhi jeene do ' . Allow every member of this family to live together by sharing their love and lead a harmonious life.
