Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday emphasised that unity and diversity are in the DNA of Indians.
He added that when one thinks of America, the word “pluralism” often comes to mind.
“Whenever you think of America, one word is often discussed — pluralism. When we say Bharat, another phrase is discussed — unity in diversity. “So many styles of living. We appear different. “Each of us has to take his meal separately. If I am not hungry, it doesn’t mean you are not hungry. If I have satisfied my hunger, if I had my lunch, that doesn’t mean you had your lunch. You have to have lunch separately. You have to earn separately. “A simple experiment you can do, or I can challenge you to do. “And without avoiding his gaze, or without driving him out, take your meal without giving him a single particle of food.
For Bharat, both unity and diversity are in its DNA,” he said. We are different,” Bhagwat said, before explaining how people remain distinct in their everyday material existence. You have to spend it separately,” he said. When you are having your lunch or dinner, let a hungry man stand before you, and let him stare at your full platter with hungry eyes,” he said. You cannot do it,” he said.
“You can find a cow grazing. It will eat grass till its tummy is full. “They don’t know why they are born. They don’t know why they will die.
Citing the example of a cow grazing, he said the animal would eat grass only until it was full and would not think about storing it for the next day. After that, it will not care for that grass,” Bhagwat said. They only know that once I am born, I have to live till my death,” he said.
