Expressing Oneness Through Compassionate Action
“How can you love one and hate the other when the same divine exists in all. As many colors of the rainbow are an outcome of one pure light, the many religions of the world are an expression of one divine source. Religions of the world are not about one man’s belief against another. But an opportunity and a possibility for all humans of all hues and colors, of various stages of evolution, understanding, and experience to reach to their common ultimate source.” --Sadhguru Oneness is both an idea and an experience. On a spiritual level, it refers to boundlessness and the state of being where there are no boundaries or limitations. On another level, it refers to human unity. It is the awareness that we are all connected to each other as human beings. It is the realization that the same divine essence exists in all of us, regardless of the color of our skin, where we live, what we believe, how much money we have or any other external situation. It is recognizing the beauty in our endless diversity, and seeing that ultimately we are one human family sharing one planet. On a practical and worldly level, oneness seeks expression in humanitarianism, community, volunteering and service. It is the act of reaching out to our fellow human beings and recognizing that we are responsible for the kind of world we are living in and the kind of world we want to create. What is inhumane to one person, one group, one family, one country affects all of us – in turn, what is compassionate uplifts, inspires, and elevates all of us as well. In this spirit, we have listed some of our favorite humanitarian organizations and volunteer resources for you to explore.
