To unite with the Divine as a conscious
group-soul,
a sacred body conceived and offered in oneness,
will bring Collective Harmony upon earth.
a sacred body conceived and offered in oneness,
will bring Collective Harmony upon earth.
This is the message for the individual.
The Veda also presents a collective ideal and enjoins upon all, who want to listen to this message that they should strive to march together, to commune among themselves in harmony and arrive at a common mind and common understanding.
Collective unity and collective harmony form, according to the Veda,
the goal that humanity must endeavour to achieve.
Kireet Joshi - Landmarks Of Hinduism - Indian Culture And Its Message
In sum, it can be said that the whole sense of the striving of Hinduism has been to secure the development of spirituality in humanity in all its parts, to help the human being to become not only conscious of the eternal and infinite, but also to live in its power universalised, spiritualised and divinised. The aim has been not merely to bring individuals to states of integral perfection but also to help the entire humanity to find its fulfillment in the realisation of collective harmony and perfection.
