MESSAGE OF PEACE 29with the Vedic injunctions 20 , then those differences which arelabelled as political will suddenly vanish as if they had neverexisted.It is thus evident that the underlying factors in all enmitiesand grudges are the religious differences. It is such religiousdifferences which, since times immemorial, reach a climaxand then invariably give way to extensive bloodshed.O Muslims, I say: If Hindus treat you as a different nationmerely because of religious differences and you respond tothem in the same manner, the matter will not end here. Howcan you achieve a sound, healthy relationship unless you takeappropriate remedial measures against this root cause? It ispossible that you may temporarily enjoy a friendship, but onlysuperficially. The ultimate sincerity of heart, worthy of beingcalled sincerity, can only be achieved if you genuinely changeyour attitude towards the Vedas and the Vedic Rishis byaccepting them to be from God. Likewise, the Hindus shouldalso change their niggardly attitude by testifying to the truthof our beloved Holy Prophet (may peace and blessings ofAllah be upon him). Remember, and remember it well, thatthis is the only principle which can establish a genuine trucebetween you and the Hindus and this is the only water whichcan wash away all malice embittering your relationship. If thehour has finally come when these two nations, who have forso long fallen apart, are destined to be reunited, then God willopen up their hearts to this purpose as He has already openedup our hearts to the same.20. The reference is to today’s distorted Vedic injunctions thathave been modified over time by the followers. [Publisher]
