d soaring in the
air might live a solitary life. They are not in need of cooperation or
solidarity. Such animated beings enjoy the greatest comfort and happiness
in their respective solitary lives.
On the contrary, man cannot live singly and alone. He is in need of
continuous cooperation and mutual help. For example, a man living alone in
the wilderness will eventually starve. He can never, singly and alone,
provide himself with all the necessities of existence. Therefore, he is in
need of cooperation and reciprocity.
The mystery of this phenomenon, the cause thereof is this, that mankind
has been created from one single origin, has branched off from one family.
Thus in reality all mankind represents one family. God has not created any
difference. He has created all as one that thus this family might live in
perfect happiness and well-being.
Regarding reciprocity and cooperation: each member of the body politic
should live in the utmost comfort and welfare because each individual
member of humanity is a member of the body politic and if one member of
the members be in distress or be afflicted with some disease all the other
members must necessarily suffer. For example, a member of the human
organism is the eye. If the eye should be affected that affliction would
affect the whole nervous system. Hence, if a member of the body politic
becomes afflicted, in reality, from the standpoint of sympathetic
connection, all will share that affliction since this (one afflicted) is a
member of the group of members, a part of the whole. Is it possible for
one member or part to be in distress and the other members to be at ease?
It is impossible! Hence God has desired that in the body politic of
humanity each one shall enjoy perfect welfare and comfort.
Although the body politic is one family yet because of lack of harmonious
relations some members are comfortable and some in direst misery, some
members are satisfied and some are hungry, some members are clothed in
most costly garments and some families are in need of food and shelter.
Why? Because this family lacks the necessary reciprocity and symmetry.
This household is not well arranged. This household is not living under a
perfect law. All the laws which are legislated do not ensure happiness.
They do not provide comfort. Therefore a law must be given to this family
by means of which all the members of this family will enjoy equal
well-being and happiness.
