Even a poor uneducated man living in a but knows that God is in everybody and therefore all are equaL The second truth is about a holistic universe.
(2) Where, at a level of pervading consciousness, everything is interconnected at Vyakthi Level (Individual level) my limbs, hands, legs, ears, eyes, heart, lungs reduce the number of dots to 4. Everything is me. I live in all of them. Their sorrows and joys are my sorrows and joys.
(3) Similarly at Samasthi level (the whole universe), I am not a single individual but I am a part of the whole universe just as my limbs are part of me.
(4) Modem science has accepted, that in this holistic universe all minds and matters are interconnected at a deeper level. The basic unity of life cannot be broken.

They found that all work, physical or mental, managerial or administrative has to be directed towards a single purpose.
