The world today cries for Peace, Unity and Harmony. But we know not how to achieve it. Let alone the larger context, it is difficult enough for us to build and enjoy the fruits of Unity even within the small set-up of a family or a community.

Human evolution has entered a crucial, perhaps a critical point. The human mind entered an accelerated mode of evolution somewhere in the 19th century, with science and reason stepping forward with the vision of creating a better world. As they danced around with success, they grew arrogant and began stamping God out of existence. They were the real Creators who came to improve and transform mankind.

The movement of nature is never in a straight and simple line. It has sudden leaps when civilisations peak in knowledge and might, then an abrupt downward turn as a giant wave lapsing into some vast ocean from where all seems to emerge and collapse back. Yet each such downward slope carries within itself the seed and the potential of a higher and greater rise. But these risings and falls yet lead the world forwards in her relentless incessant march that spirals ascending upwards through all the upturns and downslides.

Evolution is neither a local nor a linear process even though it may appear so to our limited vision of things. There is a deep bond, an interconnectedness of the entire creation and we cannot touch one point without simultaneously touching the others, although indirectly. All is a single plan, a single chain, a lesson that we are being made to learn with much struggle and pain.

An ancient Veda and a Purana speak of the three steps of Vishnu. The first step extends between earth and heaven, the second between earth and the subconscient terrains below, and the third and penultimate step is on man himself. These three steps are actually steps of the soul’s self-discovery. At first the soul in us discovers itself in creation and the world from matter to mind, from earth to the stars. The second step discovers itself below the world of matter as forces and powers that create the sense or the illusion of concrete material forms and objects, the forces that govern his psychological states from some hidden springs below and behind his surface waking consciousness. But the third step is the discovery of himself, his own true self that lies behind the masks of his ego-personality.
