DAY 210

One Purpose, One Assembly

Rigveda 10.191.3
기원전 1500~1200년경(구전 전승)
ORIGINAL
समानो मन्त्रः समितिः समानी (samāno mantraḥ samitiḥ samānī)
📜 THE VERSE

Let your purpose be one, your assembly one. Gather your minds as one, your thoughts as one — I set before you a single aim.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

If we keep clashing, are we even looking at the same goal together in the first place?

📝Reflection

A group scatters usually not from lack of ability but because each looks in a different direction. The poet seeks, above all, alignment of aim: 'let your purpose be one, your minds be one.' Unity is not everyone becoming identical, but different people turning their faces toward the same goal. Family or team, if you keep colliding, ask first — are we looking at the same place now? With shared direction, difference becomes strength; without it, even sameness becomes conflict.
