In plain words
The religions are different, the path is one; the kinds of cloth are different, the thread is one; the ornaments are different, the gold is one; the colours of cattle are different, the milk is one; living creatures are different, the jīva is one; races and their ways are different, birth is one; the philosophies are different, God is one; the colours of flowers are different, the worship is one. Unable to understand this, men lose their wits and for the sake of living are bound in many bonds. What more than this shall I make known, members of this gathering, honoured for your saintly virtues!
Divine and sacred Bhārata has from time without beginning been teaching oneness itself, spreading the message of divinity and bringing Ānanda. The Upaniṣads of Bhārata have kept teaching divine oneness, teaching that the oneness within the many is the chief goal man must recognise. But in today's system of education, whether through man's selfishness or through the self-interest of individual beings, this oneness has been broken apart. Today's educated people, who ought to see oneness in the many, divide oneness into many and are bringing on unrest.
In Ancient Times Unity in the Villages Was Boundless
In ancient times the villages were very sacred. In these villages unity grew without bound. If an auspicious event took place in anyone's house, everyone would gather as one and help that household. All of them lived like members of a single family. ‘If today there is a wedding in their house, tomorrow there is a wedding in ours. Only when I do good to others can others do good to me’: with broad feelings such as these the villages of those days kept growing in a sacred way.
