4. This mantra is teaching us to live together. Let us live together and our minds are one, our resolve should be one.
Our thoughts, heart and mind should be similar. Our mutual harmony should be very strong. This entire hymn preaches harmony. Rigveda is the science Veda. If there is harmony among us, this science will do only good. If there is opposition, this science will become the cause of destruction. From this point of view, Rigveda ends with this Cognitive Hymn or sukta. Remembering mortality, we should try to live in harmony with each other.
