WHERE IS PEACE?

Where is peace? It comes only from your heart. Remember! Our heart is the source of peace. Such as truth, righteousness and love. You have forgotten the heart and are searching for peace in the external world. You don't get peace in the bazaar... You get only pieces.

Peace is only in your heart. Fill your heart with 'love'. Whatever work you do, do it with total love. But now, wherever you go, there is only selfishness. Man has lost purity as his mind is polluted. Where is peace in the world? When you do not make your mother happy. How can there be peace in the world?

Every man's heart is the abode of peace. Only when you fill your heart with love will there be peace in the world. The world is in turmoil today as man lacks total love. Peace will reign supreme in this world only when man develops total love.

Man from head to foot is filled with anger today. He has become like an animal. Even an animal is better than man. An animal has a reason and season.

Today man has no reason and season. You behave in this manner, how you call yourself a human? To call yourself a human, first and foremost show humanness in action. Just because you love a human body, you cannot yourself a human. The human body will have value only when you cultivate human values, namely..., truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence.

Of what use is human birth if human values are absent?

The foundation of real peace is the quality of amicability, friendship,
compassion kindness. It can also taken to mean "my three" that is to say, "my word, deed and thought". In other words, we shall speak, think and act together, without friction or faction in the atmosphere of love and understanding. That is what is wanted in the world today.

Now the cry from the heart of everyone is for peace, from the prime minister down to the beggar. All ask for peace and aspire for peace. Again I said peace cannot be purchased from the bazaar, it cannot be manufactured by industrial undertakings.

It can be secured by activities, charged with love.
"Holding a cup of salt water in the hand, you cannot, by mere slogans,
make it portable and sweet".

You can turn this universe into hell or paradise or a holy place. Because if you pay sincere attention to proper development of the children under your care and devote your efforts to transmit them into sublime individuals... Worthy sons and daughters of this holy universe. This is the only means by which we can ensure the welfare and prosperity of this world.

Politics is powerless, it cannot rescue us. Only by installing in our hearts the sacred ideals of human culture and marching forward towards those goals can... Peace be attained.

The Peace of the World, depends on peace and amity between nations, the peace of a nation depends on the peace between the concomitant units - the village, the families and finally, the individuals of each family... So every individual has a responsibility to love others, have faith in them and revere them as "sparks of the Divine". Every man has to cultivate the virtues of tolerance, forbearance and brotherliness.

The greatest of the virtues is 'LOVE'. "Love is the basis of character". You may have all other desirable things in plenty; but if you have no character, that is to say, virtue, which is all "Strong on LOVE". You can have no genuine peace. Money comes and... goes!!!

But morality?... It comes and ... grows! Morality has to be grown in the heart by feeling it with 'LOVE', then only can we have justice, security, law and order. If love declines among the people, nation will weaken and mankind will perish.

By peace, western countries means the interval between two wars, when vigorous efforts are made to avenge the insult of defeat and consolidate the spoils of victory and prepare for the next round! That is no peace!

When man thinks good and speaks good and does good, peace will ensue. But he now speaks good, though he thinks evil and purposes to do evil!

Man gather in Peace Conferences in order to plan wars. He ignores the principle of immortality that is his core, the principles of love that is the life-blood of the human community. He denies himself the boon of peace and rushes towards destruction. Destroying others... He destroys himself.

It is only in the contemplation of the beauty, 'majesty' and "Omnipresence of God", that one can be at peace... Remember! Life is not all smooth riding, it is a series of ups and downs.

Learn the art and be at peace. Those who plan for the nation today, are planning only for roads, dams, factories and farms. They ignore the path of the spirit... The fields where 'Love', 'Humilinity', 'Service' and 'Sacrifice', can be cultivated. They lay emphasis on such developments as can be measured, seen and put into impressive statistical tablets. Not the intangible motives that urge man to live in peace and brotherliness.

Man is now able to sour into outer space and reach up to the moon, earth and sky are his playgrounds. But though he is intelligent enough to sail through space and under the sea and shoot bombs across continents, he is not moral enough to live at peace with his neighbour!

"A few handfuls will satisfy his hunger;
A short length of cloth will cover his nakedness;
A few square of shade are enough to sheild him against sun and rain".

But for the sake of these, he slaughters his brethren and his sisters... You all see the tragedy in GAZA... And not only GAZA!..

He steals, he plots foul conspiracies, he revels in lies and breaks the law and destroy peace in his own heart and society of the world.

Schools, colleges and educational institutes multiply everywhere. But the educated are a danger to themselves and to the country. Hospital and medical research, drugs measures increase, but the percentage of insanity and illness also increase. Everywhere there is the dark cloud of anxiety, discontent and agony, disturbing the rich as well as the poor of the world.

Where is peace?

When a bad man gets educated, he gets immersed in disputations and education itself gets polluted, seeking faults in others, cause harm to people and harass the weak. so, where is peace? On the surface man has become civilized, but deep in the darker parts of his unconsciousness, he is still barbarous.
