The root cause of terrorism is hatred. The hatred spreads because of the difference of opinion between two people, when one does not agree with other. This leads to suspicion and results in violence, Srikrishna said on the sidelines of a seminar 'Revisiting Vedanta in the 21st century' here.
"But if we look upon everyone around us as ourselves, where is the occasion for hatred and where is the cause for violence?" he said.
We tend to humanize differences between language, race, culture, customs leading to suspicion. There is no scope for negative thoughts, he said.
Vedanta should be revisited at every moment of our life. It teaches optimism, fearlessness, soul force and clearness of conscience, he said.
Vedanta is the science of right living. It is not the monopoly of Hindus but is universal and can be followed by anyone without giving up their religion, he added.
All reform moments are connected with some ancient forms of Vedanta, Prof Dr Balasubramanian said.
