<p text="C">This is a world of diversity. Intellects are

different. Faces are different. Religions are different.

Sounds are different. Faiths are different. Tastes and

temperaments are different. But one thing is common

in all. Every one of us wants Nitya Sukha (eternal

happiness), infinite knowledge, Immortality, freedom

and independence. These things can be obtained by

God-realisation alone.
