UNITY

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   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.
