Unity at the Individual Level (Vyashti)

The harmony between thoughts, words and deeds is the first step in spiritual growth. The generation, expression and efflorescence [blooming] of humanitarianism depends on the proper integration of thought, speech and action. It is the greatest virtue. Lack of correlation between ideas, utterances and actions leads to self-deception, hypocrisy, and spiritual bankruptcy. In other words, the rapport between mental and physical activities is an essential ingredient of spiritual training.

Unity at the Family Level

The connection between the Family and the World.

 A family is the most important functional unit in the world. If the family is running on sound lines, the world will also run smoothly. If the unity among family members suffers even to a small extent, the world will face the repercussions. Unity gives strength to the lives of the family members. Therefore, every family should strive for achieving unity and harmonious relationship among its members.

Unity Of Faiths

There is only one God; He is Omnipresent. There is only one religion, the Religion of Love; there is only one caste, the Caste of Humanity; there is only one language, the Language of the Heart.

Unity in Society

Society is very important. You are born in society, you grow up in society and you die in society. You can never be away from society even for a moment. Get a good name in society. When you are one with society, it is true unity. This unity will lead you to purity. This purity will in turn take you to Divinity. Unity, purity and Divinity. Where there is no unity, enmity enters. Today there is no unity, no purity and no Divinity in society. There is only enmity. So, there is need for unity.

Unity at the Creation Level (Srishti)

Realization that the entire universe is nothing but Brahman (God), which is the only Reality. When there is this realization of Brahman, the one without a second—even the mind ceases to exist. It is only the operations of the mind that result in the perception of diversity in the universe. When oneness is experienced, there is no mind at all. All is Brahman in that state of consciousness. There is room only for prema (love) in this state. That love is truth.

Unity at the Almighty Level (Parameshti)

You have to ponder over the meaning of Soham (I am That). What are you? You are That; you are a spark of the Divine. You are not the body, senses, mind, intelligence, etc., with which you now identify yourselves. You are God, only caught in deluding yourselves that you are bound by this body. Sadhana (spiritual practice) of this sort is a must for all Sai workers, for that alone can give them shanti (peace) and the other most valuable gift, prema (love). It will change their vision and enable them to witness unity where formerly they were confounded by diversity—diversity of language, religion, nationality, creed, color and caste.

Unity is the Purpose of Sathya Sai Avatar

My objective is to establish unity in mankind and to reveal to them the aspect of Divinity, which is Brahman, the only goal which one should look for. It is also My duty to make you realize the kind of relationship that should exist between man and man and that Divinity is present and latent in all human beings.
