''Vedas on Unity
God counsels Unity of mankind as under,
Sangachadvam Samvadadvam sam vo manaamsi janatham|
Deva bhagam yatha poorve sanjanana mupasathe|| Rigveda10.191.2
O you men! You join and live together. Talk to each other with love.
Let all your minds be common Just as the way the noble men have been doing their dutiesearlier
you also do your duties similarly.
Samanomantrah samithih samaanee samaanam manah saha chithameshaam|
Samanam mantramabhi mantraye vah samanena vo havisha juhomi|| Rigveda 10.191.13
Let all your thoughts and hymns be common.
Let all your assembly be common.
Let your austere vows and spiritual resolve be common.
May be your minds be alike and united.
I provide you all with common food and drink and needs of Life.
May you enter from all sides; merge entirely in the common consciousness.
Samaneeva akoothih samaana hridayani vah|
Samaana masthu vo mano yatha vah susahasathi|| Rigveda 10.191.14
Let, all your resolve be common.
Let, all your hearts be common.
Let, your minds be common.
Hence, let all your works be got done well.
How elevating the thoughts on Unity! Come and think over other Mantras.
Samprachadvamupa samprayatha|| Yajurveda 15.53
O man! You all join together and travel together. Not only this.
Sanjeevaa stha| Atharva 19.69.3
You all live together.
Then, what is the need to live together?
Pumaan pumamamsam pari pathu vishwathah|
Everyman should protect the other in all respects.
Sam jneedwam sam prichadvam| Atharva 6.64.1
Entertain common thoughts and be together.
The Vedic Ideal however is
Nakirdeva mini masi nakira yopayamasi mantrashruthyam charamasi|
Pakshehirapikshe bhi ratrabhi sam rabhamahe|| Rigveda 10.134.7
Hey Noble men!
We do not commit violence.
We do not hurt others.
We do not quarrel either.
We of course, chant Vedas and act according to its dictates.
We even join hands even with straw like men and act fast.
Vedas give us command,
Mitho vignana upayanthu mrithyam| Atharvaveda 6.32.3
People who quarrel among themselves become fodder to the death.
Hence, God’s children do not quarrel.
Then who are God’s children?
Tehi putraso aditevridu dweshamsi yothave|| Rigveda 8.18.5
Those who drive away the enemies and know how to keep them away are real children of God.
These are the noble and inspiring thoughts of Vedas on the subject like Unity. Such beautiful thoughts can not be seen in any books of so called religions.
