VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM:

When the child is young, his home is his or her whole world.

But when he or she grows up and steps out, he realises that he belongs to a bigger place.

In this way, starting with nationalism, one eventually progresses to internationalism.

There should not exist a feeling that one nation is superior to other nations.

We should realise that it is our duty to offer our service to the entire world.

The length and breadth of the world is ours because we are realised that we have a source which is all pervading, which is omnipresent, and because we would like to be an emanation of this source.

This should bring out the universal feeling of inseparable oneness.

This is not only practicable, but in the course of time, inevitable.

We are all related to each other and also to the entire world by our consciousness, which pervades the entire universe.

This is the meaning of VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM.
