UNITY
Unity means
oneness, singleness, wholeness, entity, integrity. Strength of a group of
people like members of a family, team, society, political party, members of a company
lies in their unity, coalition, alliance, cooperation, harmony, accord,
unanimity, consensus, togetherness , undividedness, etc.
it is mostly
difficult to achieve unity because each
member of a group has an individuality, selfishness, personal ambition, due to which there can be secrecy,
deception, treachery and what not.
A common
proverb is united we stand, divided we fall.
It is also
true that union does everything when it is perfect.---It satisfies desires, simplifies
needs, foresees the wishes, and becomes a constant fortune. The multitude which
does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
It is
unfortunate that some parties like those of politicians are more un-united than
others, so their members are notoriously known as defectors and turncoats and
their commitments are regarded as highly undependable. They can act against
their own parties secretly and destroy them in the twinkling of an eye for
their personal gain or ambition.
Finally,
according to an American scholar and chancellor of New York university Howard
Crosby (1826-1891) the great unity which true science seeks is found only by
beginning with our knowledge of God, and
coming down from him along the stream of causation to every fact and event that
affects us.
