| VEDANTA, UNITY AND UNIVERSALITY, THE UNITY OF TRUTH | |
| Without
addressing this core problem of the failure to understand the unity of life, we cannot
expect to solve our other problems. Today it is of utmost necessity that all those who are
consciousness of this underlying unity act in such a way as to make others aware of it.
This does not necessarily require any overt outer actions but it does require that we make
a statement by how we live, if not by what we say. The great Vedantic teachers of the twentieth century-like Swami Vivekananda, Swami Rama Tirtha, Ramana Maharshi, and Sri Aurobindo to name a few - have presented this supreme truth of Oneness not only in lucid teachings but in the example of their own lives. To discover how to live in harmony with this truth and how to realize it in the modern world we can look to them. We don't have to look to figures who lived many centuries ago or who spoke a language that we cannot understand. The example of these great Vedantic teachers can serve as a beacon for the coming millennium. Yet it is not enough merely to adulate such figures, though we must honor them.
