Thought Evolution for a better “Global Family”

KEYWORDS 
Global, Citizenship, Religion, Economy

If the Divine animates each one of us, are we not all part of one great consciousness, one great Global family? Thousands of years ago, when human beings were blissfully free from the concepts of international travel and visas and resident permits, at a time when the longest distance a traveler could hope to cover was no more than a few miles per day, Indic scriptures spoke of essential human unity. We as global families enjoying multiple citizenships – consumer citizenship; flexible citizenship; even mobility citizenship; but in Vedic terms, we are, and always have been, members of the One Family of God’s Creation – VasudaivaKutumbakam.
