Why Do You Think Art Literature and Religion Inspired a Sense of Unity

Expression of harmony and unity betwixt dissimilar individuals or groups

Italian Nobel peace prize winner Ernesto Teodoro Moneta showtime adopted the motto In Varietate Concordia/In Varietate Unitas.

Unity in diversity is used as an expression of harmony and unity between dissimilar individuals or groups. It is a concept of "unity without uniformity and diversity without fragmentation"^[one] that shifts focus from unity based on a mere tolerance of physical, cultural, linguistic, social, religious, political, ideological and/or psychological differences towards a more circuitous unity based on an understanding that deviation enriches human interactions. The thought and related phrase is very old and dates back to aboriginal times in both Western and Eastern Onetime World cultures. Information technology has applications in many fields, including environmental,^[one] cosmology, philosophy,^[ii] faith^[3] and politics.^[4]

Origins [edit]

The concept of unity in diversity can be traced back to Sufi philosopher Ibn al-'Arabi (1165–1240), who advanced the metaphysical concept of the "oneness of beingness" (wahdat al-wujud), namely, that reality is i, and that God's is the just true existence; all other beings are just shadows, or reflections of God's qualities.^[5] Abd al-Karīm al-Jīlī (1366–1424) expanded on Al-'Arabi'south work, using it to describe a holistic view of the universe which reflects "unity in diversity and variety in unity" (al-wahdah fi'50-kathrah wa'l-kathrah fi'50-wahdah).^[ii]

Leibniz used the phrase as a definition of "harmony" (Harmonia est unitas in varietate) in his Elementa verae pietatis, sive de amore dei 948 I.12/A Half-dozen.4.1358. Leibniz glosses the definition Harmonia est cum multa ad quandam unitatem revocantur which means the 'Harmony' is when many [things] are restored to some kind of unity.

Religious beliefs [edit]

The Quondam Javanese poem Kakawin Sutasoma, written by Mpu Tantular during the reign of the Majapahit empire sometime in the 14th century, contains the phrase Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, translated as "unity in diversity".^[6] The verse form is notable every bit information technology promotes tolerance between Hindus (especially Shaivites) and Buddhists, stating that although Buddha and Shiva are different in substance, their truths are i:^{[ citation needed ]}

It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are ii different substances.
They are indeed dissimilar, nevertheless how is information technology possible to recognise their deviation in a glance,
since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one.
They are indeed unlike, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.

Unity in diversity is a prominent principle of the Baháʼí Faith. In 1938, in his book The Earth Order of Baháʼu'lláh, Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baháʼí Organized religion, said that "unity in diversity" was the "watchword" for the religion.^[7]

ʻAbdu'fifty-Bahá, the head of the Baháʼí Faith from 1892 to 1921, explained this principle in terms of the oneness of humanity: ^[8]

In reality all are members of i human being family—children of 1 Heavenly Father. Humanity may be likened unto the vari-colored flowers of one garden. There is unity in diversity. Each sets off and enhances the other's beauty.

In Indian spiritual teacher Meher Baba'south Concluding Proclamation, he stated that "Unity in the midst of diversity tin be fabricated to exist felt only by touching the very cadre of the heart. This is the work for which I take come. I have come to sow the seed of love in your hearts so that, in spite of all superficial variety which your life in illusion must experience and endure, the feeling of oneness through beloved is brought virtually amongst all the nations, creeds, sects and castes of the world."^[9]

Unity in diverseness is also a slogan utilized by the disciples of Swami Sivananda. They came to America to spread the true pregnant of Unity in Diversity; that we are All in Ane & Ane in All in an all loving ahimsa God.^[ten]

Dutch Christian theologian Herman Bavinck wrote that principles of "unity in diversity" and "diversity in unity" both flow out of the Christian doctrines of the Imago Dei and the Trinity:^[11]

Every human being, while a fellow member of the body of humanity every bit a whole, is at the same time a unique thought of God, with a significance and destiny that is eternal! Every human being existence is himself or herself an image of God, yet that prototype is only fully unfolded in humanity every bit a whole!

— Reformed Dogmatics: Volume ii (Gereformeerde Dogmatiek), 1895-99

[The Trinity] reveals God to united states as the fullness of being, the true life, eternal dazzler. In God, too, there is unity in multifariousness, diversity in unity.

Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India and leader of the Indian National Congress, vigorously promoted unity in multifariousness as an ideal essential to national consolidation and progress.^{[17] [eighteen]} He wrote at length on this topic, exploring it in detail in his work The Discovery of India.^[nineteen]

The variety of India is tremendous; it is obvious; it lies on the surface and everyone tin meet it. It concerns itself with physical appearances equally well every bit with certain mental habits and traits. There is piddling in common, to outward seeming, between the Pathan of the Due north-West and the Tamil in the far South. Their racial stocks are not the same, though there may be common strands running through them... Yet, with all these differences, at that place is no mistaking the print of India on the Pathan, as this is obvious on the Tamil. The Pathan and the Tamil are two extreme examples; the others lie somewhere in between. All of them have their distinctive features, all of them accept nevertheless more the distinguishing mark of India.

— The Diversity and Unity of India, from The Discovery of India, 1946

Though outwardly there was diversity and infinite diverseness amidst our people, everywhere there was that tremendous print of oneness, which had held all of us together for ages by, whatever political fate or misfortune had befallen us.
