v Finally when we bless the world, when we bless mankind as a whole, we actually expand our mind. All the experiences gained by the life-style of mankind from the primitive age up to now are contained in the society as cultural values. All the people on this Earth of ours are linked to one another in some way as can be proved by taking up a morsel of food. How many countries indeed are linked in that? The food grain might have come from India, the spices from Indonesia, the cooking oil from South America, the culinary at from China and so on. Likewise the dress you wear, which is the finished product of a multitude of materials and labour from a cross-section of humanity. The landscape of the world is one if you take the ocean-bottom into view, the water spread is one and so also the atmosphere. If one country is affected, all the affected although this may not be apparent at first sight. Therefore we have to expand our mind and bless the entire world.
