Unitedly Divided Nations

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. Keeping the various goals such as human rights, child mortality, security and peace making, health and diseases in mind this Union is formed, but many times its observed that UN is failing to achieve its targets.

In the beginning UN had 53 nations as its members, today they are grown to 193...what that means? it simply means nations are getting divided and becoming part of UN. Nations are getting divided because of internal fights amongst their own people due to so many issues for example division of Korea into South Korea and Noth Korea, division of Russia into different countries. Prabhupad gives the example, just like dog starts barking when some another dogs enters it's area similarly we also identify with our country and try to pull down everyone else, one can not unite dogs of different areas, so until and unless we give up our doglike mentality till that time UN will fail.

Just 5000 years ago whole world would be known as Bharatvarsha, although there were different small kingdoms but Yudhistira was the king of whole planet so they were actually united under one flag. If you observe carefully each year there are 2-3 new flags admitted to UN means each year 2-3 new countries are formed which is not at all sign of unity. What was the secret of Yudhistira's success? How he could unite everyone under one flag?

Prabhupad says,"They have invented the United Nations and world health organizations. But all these attempts are exactly the same process as to water the leaves and the twigs. They don’t know the missing point: Krishna". It's so true, UN has everything but still incapable of uniting people because lack of God consciousness. When people will recognize their original identify as part of one single God then only there is possibility of union and that was the secret of success of previous kings like Yudhistira and others. Till the time we focus on our externalities like I am Indian, You are Russian, He is American, we are developed you are under development till that time there is zero probability of union. UN is trying everything except reminding people of their eternal connection with God and with each other, it's like pouring enough water on tree except root, when the root is neglected there is no use of watering to leaves and branches, it's useless. In conclusion UN should also distribute authorized scriptural knowledge to everyone and assist in propagation of God consciousness in nations then there will be true meaning to United Nations else nations will keep on dividing!!
