Real Peace

 

The 'real' fight
Selfish desire is found in the senses, mind, and intellect, misleading them and burying the understanding in delusion. Fight with all your strength, Arjuna! Controlling your senses, conquer your enemy, the destroyer of knowledge and realization.
-Bhagavad Gita 3:40-41 (see Bhagavad Gita)

 

If you contact God within yourself, you will know that He is in everyone, that He has become the children of all races. Then you cannot be an enemy to anyone. If the whole world could love with that universal love, there would be no need for men to arm themselves against one another. By our own Christlike example we must bring unity among all religions, all nations, all races.
— Paramahansa Yogananda in Man’s Eternal Quest (see A World without Boundaries)

 

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
-  Carl Jung

 

Prayers for peace on earth

 

Although it is difficult to bring about peace through internal transformation, this is the only way to achieve lasting world peace. Even if during my lifetime it is not achieved, it is all right. The next generation will make more progress. - HH Dalai Lama.
