Conclusion
As it is said, stagnant water becomes stale or foul. Similarly, if we as an individual or a family or a Samaj, becomes stagnant then our development or advancement will become sluggish and dull.
So, let us not remain behind. From the humble village of our ancestors, we have moved for a better way of life and hence, let us march forward and make the whole world our home and our family- hky^ ¥ h Ly $ Vy $ çbL „$
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam( from“ vasudha”, the earth;“ iva”, is; and“ kutumbakam”, family), a Sanskrit phrase that means that the whole world is one single family.
The concept originates in the Vedic scripture Maha Upanishad( Chapter 6, Verse 72):
Ae „ bÞ^yfe „“¡ rs NZ“ p gOyQ ¡ skp „ Dv $ pfQqfsp“ p „ sy hky^ ¥ h Ly $ Vy $ çbL „$
ayam bandhurayam neti ganana laghuchetasam udaracharitanam tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam.
Only the narrow-minded discriminates saying: one person is related to me and another is not. For broad-minded, the entire world constitutes but a family.
