Lao-Tse said, "If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
there must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
there must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
there must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
there must be peace in the heart.”
Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, India said, ‘Peace is determined, not by external events, but by our internal attitude. The violence we see in the world is a reflection of the confusion and violence inside each one of us. When we are at Peace within; we can create peace in our world.’
The Spiritual Masters of various traditions tell us that for there to be peace in the world there has to be peace in our hearts. Each of us has the capacity to bring peace in our hearts should we choose to do so. In each moment, each of us has the opportunity to bring peace or unrest in our world. Peace in our hearts is an individual choice moment by moment. When we bring peace in our hearts, we can bring peace in our little piece of our world. Our individual action can have a collective impact in the world – both internal and universal.
I invite you take the opportunity on Sunday Oct 22nd to do something for World Healing and World Peace.
