Thought has divided the world not only geographically but also psychologically, inwardly

Unity, by Marja Lee Kruÿt

Many volumes have been written about the world outside of us—the environment, the society, politics, economics, and so on, but very few have gone to the very length of discovering what we actually are. Why human beings are behaving as they are doing—killing each other, constantly in trouble, following some authority or the other, some book, some person, some ideal, and having no right relationship with their friends, with their wives, with their husbands and with their children; why human beings have become, after so many millennia, so vulgar, so brutal, so utterly lacking in care, consideration, attention to others, and denying the whole process of what is considered love.

Look at the activities of thought, because we live by thought. All our actions are based on thought, all our contemplated efforts are based on thought—our meditations, our worships, our prayer.

Thought has brought about the division of nationalities which create wars, the division in religions as the Jew, as the Arab, the Muslim, the Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and so on.

Thought has divided the world not only geographically but also psychologically, inwardly.

Until there is freedom from the activities of thought which is creating great problems, those problems cannot possibly be solved.

That is why both you and I must think together, if we can.

That demands that both of us feel, enquire, search out, question, doubt, all these things that man has put together, all the things that we have created as barriers between each other.
