Fraternity

The Equality and Liberty remain incomplete unless they are based on fraternity But true fraternity cannot be established on a political basis unless it has as its background and support the enduring spiritual idea that all creation has emerged from the One Source and is an extension of That. Even limited religious thought that sees only its faithful followers as brothers while regards others as someone else; even an exalted secular thought that sees mankind as one while cutting itself off from the rest of creation cannot become the true and lasting basis of fraternity. It will only give birth to a collective ego which is quite another thing. We discuss this aspect of the triangle that is dreamed off as an ideal human society, a society where freedom, equality and fraternity are respected and acknowledged in principle and practice.
