Unitary Republic of Indonesia, has 250 million inhabitants, 13 466 islands, 1500 and 1027 tribal language, culture and traditions also have a very rich, as well as the variety of religions and beliefs are embraced inhabitants. Such countries prone to disintegration if it does not have a unifying force. So far, the Panca Sila which has been established as the state is unifying the various races, religions, and races that exist in Indonesia, because Pancasila is the soul of the nation and the pure character of the archipelago nation.

The position of Pancasila as the state has indeed been affirmed in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution: "So was composed of Independence National Indonesia was in an Act of the State of Indonesia, which is formed in an arrangement of the Republic of Indonesia the sovereignty of the people and by the Almighty God, Humanity Fair and Civilized, Indonesian Unity and Democracy, led by the inner wisdom permusywaratan representatives, as well as to bring about a social justice for all Indonesian people ".

In his position as the basis of this country, Pancasila ensure diversity in Indonesia remains protected and united in a harmony. Panca Sila glue the Indonesian population of the western tip to tip of the East, from the North end to the South end, because the Five Precepts are shared values ​​which guide national and state life.When Pancasila as the noble values ​​of the soul of this nation is run, no one sukupun that accentuate tribal order to dominate the other tribes. Similarly, in the practice of berketuhanan, neither party dominates, reducing the existence let alone to negate the existence of other parties. Panca Sila guide all citizens live in equality, and encourage all citizens united in the worship of Mother Earth for the sake of kesehteraan together.

So far, the Panca Sila has become a force to guard against the division and disintegasis the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. If Pancasila as the state was replaced by order or ideology of one group - which is not the soul of the nation as a whole, disintegration is inevitable. As has happened in countries of the former Soviet Union, the Balkans, as well as countries of the Middle East.

Diversity is the natural character of this nation. This has been expressed also through the philosophy of Unity Tan Hana Dharma Mangruwa. Uniformity in any form, in contrast to the natural character, and only bring destruction. At this point, we know where the power of Pancasila as a unifying force. Again, Pancasila is the soul of the nation and the pristine nature of the archipelago nation - and he has been there throughout the life of the archipelago nation with various tribal members.
