In the same way the people of Bhārata, unable to recognise their own good fortune, strength, justice and Dharma, cannot bear them out in practice.
As it is said in the Veda, “Not by action, not by offspring, not by wealth; by sacrifice alone have some attained immortality,” immortality is won through sacrifice alone.

But because unity is missing, everything goes to waste. So today we must foster unity. For all belong to one race. All are human beings! Yet, while calling ourselves human beings, we lack human qualities and merely follow the nature of wild beasts, the nature of animals. First of all we must recognise the truth, ‘We are human beings.’ We must look upon the sufferings of others as our own sufferings. We must regard their troubles as our troubles. We must live in unity with everyone; we must firmly believe in the feeling that all are embodiments of the one Ātma. Weighing good and bad, we must take in the good that is in everyone and give up the bad. We cannot take in everything with the thought, ‘After all, these were born from us.’ There the power of inquiry is most necessary. Today we have eaten curd, rice, sweets and other such foods. But by tomorrow morning it changes into another form. Though it too was born from us, we must cast it out. In the same way, in society we must weigh good and bad, accept the good and cast out the bad. Even to those who harm us we must do nothing but good.
