The World is a Family

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम् | 
उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ||  

(महोपनिषद्, अध्याय ४, श्‍लोक ७१) 


The world is a family
One is a relative, the other stranger,
say the small minded.
The entire world is a family,
believe the magnanimous.

Be detached,
be magnanimous,
lift up your mind, enjoy
the fruit of Brahmanic freedom.
Maha Upanishad 

Today, in the changed world that we are living in, it would be wise to remember that all of mankind belong to one family. 
Initiatives to share resources, expertise, and knowledge are the need of the day.
