As each individual is a unique entity, so too each nation has a distinctive individuality. Each person is different from the other in certain matters and is endowed with some special characteristics which are his/her own. So too, each nation has certain special features, not found in others. Every individual has to play a role as part of the system. Each one's own previous karma or deeds has determined a special line or path for him/her. The history of nations too is the same. Each has to play a role already laid down by its destiny. Each nation has to deliver a special message of its own to the world community.
- Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 2.
