Prayer, A Love Letter to God

OM NAMO SARVA VIDHYA VISARADAYA NAMAHA AS ONE YOU ARE NONE

In an ashram hundreds of aspirants were getting education and training under a Master. His training was for total personality development of students. He always stressed on the principle of unity, because his disciples were from different countries, with different languages, religions and beliefs.

One day in a class He said, "Dear children! In deep ocean fishes in different sizes live. Big fish always eats small fish. There are some fish which are very small in size. They live in big groups, when they find a very big fish, immediately they make a formation of very big fish. The enemy fish runs away thinking that it is encountering a very big fish. This is the greatness of unity. We can find such unity among animals and birds. If you are united you can encounter any powerful calamity and you can conquer a powerful enemy also."

All the disciples heard the words of Swamiji carefully. But later as usual they were forming small sub-groups. Swamiji wanted to teach them a lesson with an experience.

One day Swamiji formed a group of 50 students selecting them from different sub-groups. He assigned them a task of getting a type of herbal fruits and leaves from the forest. As usual they all were walking in small groups.

Suddenly they found a demon which was as big as a small hill. They were frozen in fear. The demon was approaching towards them. They couldn't run back or shout for help because the ashram was very far to them.

Suddenly one of the students remembered the lesson of Swamiji on unity. He gave a plan to all the students. All of them climbed big tree and stood in the form of a demon. At once they started shouting as loudly as possible. It created a horrible sound. The demon thought that it was a bigger demon and ran away.

All the disciples came down, hugged each other in the joy of victory. They completed the work assigned by Swamiji.

After reaching the ashram all fell at the feet of Swamiji and explained to him how unity helped them to conquer the demon. They promised Swamiji that till the last day of their stay on the earth they would maintain unity.

Swamiji blessed them with his beautiful smile and divine love. Disciples didn't know that it was a drama created by Swamiji to teach them a lesson.

Unity is strength to any creature. If trees unite – they form thick forest Man cannot penetrate If rocks unite – they form into mountain Man cannot shake it If water drops unite – they form big ocean Man cannot conquer If small ants unite – they kill big python If men unite – they can the conquer the world Unity is the safest protector to a country or a family which cannot be broken by any missile
