A sloka from the Rig Veda. (≈1500-1200 BC)
The chanting is from Times Music Spiritual Collection.
The thoughts expressed here are very lofty and expansive and are the very nurturing ideas of a civilised society. The combination of the rich language, the inspiring ideas expressed and the very musical chanting make this a wonderful mystical experiece. Also there is this very eternal human longing to live harmoniously with others which makes relating to the ideas expressed as of one's own.
We live in times far removed from the times when the sloka was composed, but the interdependent world that we now belong to could only have evolved as our ancestors had such noble thoughts.
It could have been any one like us chanting this sloka in the vedic times.
Present conflict ridden world needs a serious dose of such ideas to smoothen its course and to eventually let it blend in to a harmonious and humane group extending beyond the artificial boundaries of nations and states.
Hopefully that day is not too far.
