But when religion was given it was with two objects. The first and most important motive was uniting mankind in brotherhood and the second was the uplifting of the soul. In different civilizations brotherhood was formed in different realms of life. In the present time when we think of brotherhood in the West it is the brotherhood of patriotism while in the East you have the brotherhood of religion. In whatever aspect brotherhood may show itself, there is always one link that unites many souls and the existence of this uniting link is the principal condition for brotherhood. Children of the same parents are brothers because the same parentage links them into brotherhood. In a school, college or university the students form a brotherhood united through the link of the university. Those who unite in any enterprise or profession form a brotherhood through the link of that particular profession. The most important thing for brotherhood is the strength of that particular uniting link. The nature of life is love or as the Bible says: God is love, which means: the world is created by Love, it lives by love, it is uplifted by love.
