Dear God, 
Who draws the lines around the countries ?
-Nan

As it is concluded in the Atharva Veda: 
“We are birds of the same nest.
 Wearing different skins, 
speaking different languages,
 believing in different religions, 
and belonging to different cultures
 – yet we share the same home, our earth. 
Born on the same planet, 
covered by the same skies, 
gazing at the same stars,
 breathing the same air, 
we must learn to progress happily together 
or miserably perish together. 
For humans can live individually
 but can survive only collectively.”

P.S:


"Who draws the lines around the countries ?"
Only a child could ask a question so profound.
I am equally sure it was not the Creator's intention.
It is probably the consequence of the
(often misused) free will gifted to mankind.
It has only divided and separated us in ways that has not
been beneficial to anyone or anything.
It is time to erase these lines ......................
at least in our hearts and minds.
It is time to replace ME with WE......
It is time to realize that
"we must learn to progress happily together 
or miserably perish together. 
For humans can live individually
 but can survive only collectively.”


Namaste,
Bhagya
