We humans love to divide.
My camp. Your camp. My guru. Your guru.
My “this is the tradition.” Your “this is the tradition.”

But in eternal reality, these walls are made of sand. A single wind of truth — and they collapse.

The great Ācāryas did not come to pit us against each other. They came to connect us in a chain of mercy, heart to heart. They may have had different styles, different emphases, even apparent disagreements. But their inner aim was one: to bring us to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.

“Unity in diversity” does not mean we must all think alike. It means we see outward differences for what they are — diversity in expression, unity in essence.

At the same time, our own sthāyī-bhāva — the eternal foundation of our love for Kṛṣṇa — is the heart of our spiritual life. That’s why it is precious and mandatory to be among like-minded souls who share the same inner bhāva. But this must never mean demeaning or dismissing other bhāvas. Every true bhāva is a precious jewel in Kṛṣṇa’s treasure chest of love.

When we look through the eyes of mercy, labels disappear. What remains is one clear current of bhakti, nourished by the tears, songs, and writings of those who came before us.

So let us be less busy counting the faults of other lines, groups, or personalities. Let us stand instead in reverence before the diversity in which Kṛṣṇa allows His servants to act.

Then we will see: the sun of the Ācāryas does not shine for one camp, but for all who seek its light.
