NAGPUR: "The world is becoming increasingly diversified, there is a need for people to come together, and feel one while respecting each one's uniqueness, which will ultimately lead to world peace," said Dr Yugandhar, secretary, The World United, Hyderabad.
He was speaking at Spirituality - An Unending Quest for the Living Spirit, a seminar held as the pre-World Parliament on Spirituality event.
The parliament is going to be held at Hyderabad in December.
Dr Yugandhar said that all human beings are united in heart but are separated by their mind. And this is where spirituality comes in. Spirituality connects us with our own selves and leads to the formation of a wholesome human being. "And oneness inside will lead to oneness outside," he said.
He further said, "Spirituality is consciousness of soul. Each cell of our body has consciousness and for each cell the whole human body is God. Even though each cell is different they come together in a coordinated way and make the body work. When there is no connect between them, we suffer illness. Humanity is same. Each of us is a single cell and we should come together in order to maintain the cosmic balance."

Supreme Court judge Vikas Sirpurkar said that spirituality is a quest to know our own selves. Quoting Aurobindo Ghose he said, "When you understand yourself, spirituality comes automatically." He also said that Nagpur would prove an apt and perfect venue for the next World Parliament on Spirituality.
The seminar was organised jointly by the Integrated Healing Forum (IHF) and University Women's Association Nagpur (UWAN). Dr Ved Prakash Mishra, pro-chncellor, Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences and the chief advisor of IHF said that we should aim to be integrated with the cosmic soul and that "Concentration of mind is the biggest challenge for spirituality."
