Our World is a family: Literature, Wisdom and Going Forward to Make Humanity More Sustainable, Inspired by Fratelli Tutti, By Shubhrangshu Roy - Pune; Kuruvilla Pandikattu Joseph, July Sep 2022 - Pages 33-55

Inspired by Pope Francis Fratelli Tutti and drawing from different traditions of Literature and Religions, the Poet and Journalist, reflects on living together in a spirit of diversity and harmony. He learns from the great Sufi mystic Shams of Tabriz who sought to answer that question in the all-Pervading oneness of the spirit. He also acknowledges that the human mind alone is the refuge of both vice and virtue. the ancients believed that by submerging itself in its own exalted state, the mind can rid itself of all its virtues and vices that are accumulations of wrong teaching. The author argues that it is only in discovering the divine not high up in the heavens above, but deep within our hearts; it is only in realizing that God in our hearts, do we realize the beauty of our being . This is true of both believers and non-believers, for people of different and no religions. So, the author concludes the article pleading for love beyond limits, seeing beauty in everything and seeking unity in plurality
