The Ideal of Human Unity is a pressing demand of our time, especially at the beginning of the subjective age, when the polarization of human societies on dictatorships and democracies becomes so sharp and uncompromising that it endangers the very existence of human civilization.
“For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony. – says Sri Aurobindo. It is only by resolving the discords of individual freedom with the social order that we can find the solution.”
“For liberty is insufficient, justice also is necessary …; the cry for equality arises. – says Sri Aurobindo – … But … liberty and equality … can never be quite satisfactorily reconciled so long as man individual and aggregate lives by egoism, so long as he cannot undergo a great spiritual and psychological change and rise beyond mere communal association to that third ideal … which some vague inner sense made the revolutionary thinkers of France add to their watchwords of liberty and equality, —the greatest of all the three, … the ideal of fraternity or, … an inner oneness. That no mechanism social, political, religious has ever created or can create; it must take birth in the soul and rise from hidden and divine depths within.”
