The divine purpose of creation, so far as man’s reason can grasp it, is expounded in the Vedas. The rishis taught that each human being has been created by god as a soul which will manifest some special attribute of the infinite before resuming its absolute identity. All men, endowed thus with a facet of divine individual­ity, are equally dear to god.

The wisdom garnered by India is a heritage of all mankind. Vedic truth belongs to the superpower and not only to India. According to the Vedic scriptures, the rishis were members of the human race born on this earth to serve humanity. Distinctio­ns by race or nation are meaningles­s in the realm of truth, where the only qualificat­ion is spiritual fitness. According to them, god is love. His plan for creation can be rooted only in love. Every saint who has penetrated to the core of reality has testified that a divine universal plan exists and that it is beautiful and full of joy.

In Bible, to Isaiah, God revealed his intentions: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace.”

May all men come to know, that there exists a definite, scientific technique of self-realisatio­n to overcome all human sorrows.
