A popular Tamil saying "One race, one God" - ஒன்றே குலம் ஒருவனே தேவன் (Tamil)
Recent great saying "ஒன்றே குலம் ஒருவனே தேவன் - One race, one God" is attributed to C.N. Annadurai, a prominent political leader and former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, May 30th 1967.
A similar great saying is "Aham Brahmasmi" (Sanskrit: अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि ) - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10 of the Shukla Yajurveda
"I am Brahman" or "I am the Ultimate Reality."
Aham: This word means "I" or "self." It refers to the individual self or ego.
Brahma: This term refers to "Brahman," which is the ultimate, unchanging, and absolute reality in Hindu philosophy. Brahman is often described as the supreme, formless, and infinite cosmic consciousness or divine principle.
Asmi: This word means "am" or "is."
Individual self, or "I," is not separate from the ultimate reality, Brahman. It signifies the realization of one's true nature as being inherently connected to the divine and that the individual self is an expression of the same universal consciousness that is Brahman. This realization is a central concept in Advaita Vedanta, a non-dualistic school of Hindu philosophy, and it underscores the unity and oneness of all existence.

“ஒன்றே குலமும் ஒருவனே தேவனும்
நன்றே நினைமின் நமன்இல்லை நாணாமே
சென்றே புகும்கதி இல்லை நும்சித்தத்து
நின்றே நிலைபெற நீர்நினைந்து உய்மினே”
(Paadal 2104, Thirumandram by Thirumoolar)
