(20)
Today, the world has become a much smaller place, thanks to the adventures and miracles of science. Foreign nations have become our next door neighbours. Mingling of population is bringing about interchange of thought. We are slowly realising that the world is a single co-operative group. Other religions have become forces with which we have to reckon, and we are seeking for ways and means by which we can live together in peace and harmony. We cannot have religious unity and peace so long as we assert that we are in possession of the light and all others

5. How will you organise a report ? Explain.
religion than ones own is a sort of bolshevism in religion which we must try to prevent. We can do so only if we accept something like the Hindu solution which seeks the unity of religion not in a common creed but in a common quest. Let us believe in a unity of spirit and not of organisation, a unity which secures ample liberty not only for every individual but for every type of organised life which has proved itself effective. For, almost all historical forms of life and thought can claim the sanction of experience and so the authority of god. The world could be a much poorer thing if one creed absorbed the rest. God wills a rich harmony and not a colourless uniformity. The comprehensive and synthetic spirit of Hinduism had made it a mighty forest with a thousand waving arms each fulfilling its function and all directed by the spirit of God. Each thing in its place and all associated in the divine concert, making with their various voices and even dissonances, as Heraclitus would say, the most exquisite harmony, should be our idea.
are grouping in the darkness. That very assertion is a challenge to a fight. The political ideal of the world is not so much a single empire with a homogeneous civilisation and a single communal will, but a brotherhood of free nations differing profoundly in life and mind, habits, and institutions, existing side by side in peace and order, harmony and co-operation and each contributing to the world its own unique and specific best which is irreducible to the terms of the others. The cosmopolitanism of the Eighteenth Century and the nationalism of the Nineteenth are combined in our ideal of a world commonwealth which allows every branch of the human family to find freedom,security, and self-realisation in the larger life of mankind. I see no hope for the religious future to contain the revelation of the world, if this ideal is not extended to the religious sphere also. When to contain the revelation of the very core and centre of truth and the acceptance of it is the exclusive pathway of heaven, conflicts are inevitable. In such conflicts, one religion will not allow others to steal a march over it and no one can gain ascendancy until the world is reduced to dust and ashes. To obliterate every other

own reaction to people or your behaviour towards co-workers. Self- analysis will help you understand where the source of the problem lies, in you or in others.
Consult a friend : Your reaction to a coworkers difficult behaviour may be influenced by your emotions and feelings and may be purely subjective. You may react with anger and pain and humiliation or fear. So it is better to consult a colleague or co-worker about the problem who will give an objective view to tackle the situation.
Discuss : Call for a private meeting with the person and tell him about how you feel about his behaviour. You should focus on how the behaviour is affecting you rather than adopt an accusatory tone and blame the other person. Talk in a pleasant and friendly manner, this will help the other person understand how his behaviour is affecting you.
Follow - up : Once you have agreed, follow up with the other person and observe if his behaviour towards you has really changed. If it has not changed, then probably you need to discuss with him again.
others for privileges and perks or putting others down. But difficult people have to be dealt with and the sooner one acts the better.
If you face difficult people at your workplace, then it is time you learnt how to deal with the situation. Preferring to ignore the problem will only make the situation worse. Your discontent, if not addressed at the right time and in the right way, will only lead to a fullfledged conflict with the person at some point of time. Generally, in such a situation one takes time to understand the reality and then react accordingly.
Letting the situation simmer for a long time will only increase your anger and frustration and you will not be able to confront the person with the emotional obj ectivity and control that you wish for. It is always better that you learn to handle the difficult person and here are some tips to help you.
Know yourself: Do a brief self-examination and decide if the other person is really a problem or if you are just over reacting. May be the problem is more to do with the situation rather than the person. Another reason could be your
