The Family Of Humanity: Informative Talk

IN ORDER TO LIVE IN HARMONY AS A HUMAN FAMILY, WE NEED TO APPRECIATE THE VALUE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF EVERY NATION, RELIGION AND CULTURE. AT THE SAME TIME, WE ALSO NEED TO RECOGNISE THE COMMON FOUNDATION UNDERLYING THESE EXTERNAL DIFFERENCES. IN RAJA YOGA, THE SYMBOL USED TO ILLUSTRATE THESE CONCEPTS IS THAT OF THE SEED AND THE TREE. AS WITH A PHYSICAL TREE, THE TREE OF THE HUMAN WORLD ORIGINATES FROM A SINGLE TINY SEED “ GOD THE SUPREME. IN THE FIRST PART OF THIS CD, WE LEARN HOW THE HUMAN POPULATION, AFTER AN INITIAL PERIOD OF STRENGTH AND UNITY, UNDERGOES A PROCESS OF EXPANSION, DIVISION, DIVERSIFICATION AND EVENTUALLY DECAY, LEAVING ONLY THE SEED FROM WHICH THE NEW SAPLING THEN EMERGES. THE SECOND PART, EXPLORES ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE IMAGE OF THE TREE: THE ROLE OF GOD IN WORLD CREATION, SUSTENANCE AND TRANSFORMATION AND OUR OWN ESSENTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THIS TASK. EACH PART CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF SHORT, INTER-RELATED TALKS, CONCLUDING WITH A MEDITATION EXERCISE.
