Some people have romantic idealistic concepts that society can live as one .
In spiritual terms, maybe , when by cultivating spiritual consciousness, one is able to see that consciousness particals are in each body , the very substance of life .
But materially speaking , individuals have always expressed differently and lived differently, both individually and collectively, as well as in communial ways and also unique national cultural ways ..
In the vedas 5th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, the activities of King Prtu give the description of the natural creation of boundaries, such as oceans , rivers, and mountain ranges , so although harmony can be acheived in mankind it must be understood as being based on differences , which have sometimes complex social and karmic reasons , all societies should be respected and understood in mature ways .
The concept of harmony in discord is only realised in the minds of those who are learned with the consciousness of Divinity within their hearts , and who have evolved love for Divinity as well as all beings , seeing that everything is connected to God , knowing they are all His expansions , such Divine inspiration creates the inconceivable oneness and difference vision in our relationship with Him and all beings .
The vipras , Brahminical men, and Suddha Bhaktas know this very well and realise it . By their association , we can also know and realise this truth .
It is never found in any political leaders , who we could probably safely say are mostly lacking in real wisdom, and are sometimes fools and rascals , so they must always take direction from the real intelligensia as described above .
