What is the difference between co-operation and operation? What qualities should we develop within ourselves? The Divine Master makes it abundantly clear to us today.
Riches beyond reasonable limits will result only in disaster. Unity of minds, mutual love and co-operation - these are the qualities we must develop continuously. One must not learn to live like a drop of oil on a pond, spreading all over the surface and refusing to merge with the water. One must join others in common tasks and contribute one's strength and skill to the common pool. A single thin string cannot stop even an ant, but hundreds of them twisted into a rope can hold back an elephant. This is the effect of united effort. It is a very desirable trait to work for a common cause with others in co-operation; do not believe in mere operation tasks.
-Divine Discourse, Vol 14 Ch 20, Feb 18, 1980.
Make the World a happy home of love - Baba
