The whole totality of things is indispensable for realising the Divine. If you took away one of these things, there would be a hole in the realisation. And I am not speaking only of material things, material points, I am speaking of all the depths. So when you say: {as many do}"Ah! if that were not there in the world, how fine the world would be," you are displaying your ignorance.
I met in Japan one of the sons of Tolstoy; he was going round the world preaching human unity. He had caught this from his father and was going everywhere in the world preaching human unity. I met him at some friends' place and asked him: "How are you going to realise this human unity? Do you know what reply he gave me? Oh! it is very simple – if everybody spoke the same language, if everybody dressed in the same way, if everybody lived in the same fashion, the whole world would be united!" Then I told him: "That would be a poor world not worth living in." He did not understand me!
