PEACE





Cultivate Love, Peace, Right Action and Fortitude. Practice them systematically.


You should be content with what you have, refuse to be worried by the absence of things that you have not got and try as far as possible to reduce and eliminate the desires and tendencies, passions and hatreds. That is your real duty, the real purpose of human birth.


If these four qualities are cultivated and practiced by each one, then there will be no envy between one person and another, Selfish grabbing will cease, the interests of others will be respected and world peace can be established.

Those enthusiastic about world peace must first learn how to experience and enjoy that peace themselves.


Peace cannot be spread or promoted by anyone. The best that can be done is to show
the way to others, to inform others of its sweetness. How can another's hunger be
appeased by your eating food? The diner alone derives satisfaction from the dinner.
Peace too is of such a nature.


Love and fortitude are enough to confer peace. Let these
virtues saturate your thought, word and deed. That is the way to establish world peace.
Through world peace, individual peace can also be established.


The relationship between Karma and Karma Yoga should be properly understood. Karma (action) done with attachment or desire causes bondage. But selfless action devoid of desires becomes Karma Yoga (the path of action leading to liberation). Our life should become Yoga (Divine Communion) rather than a Roga (disease).

There is no greater quality in man than selfless love, which expresses itself in service to others. Such love can be the source of real bliss.
