Human beings are all like leaves of one tree — a universal tree. Or, better still, they are like molecules of a huge human body.

This is why human beings must, for their own sake, live by spiritual values.In order to throw some light on the various facets of this issue, these articles were written. Now these are being published in a book-form.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
