Peace is the happy, natural state of man and all of natures children.
It is impossible to feel peace unless one has positive goodwill towards others, not just to
one's special friends allies, and denied to others.
Right thought, right feeling, right action~ these are the way to peace.
In the world at large there can be no peace of
a lasting order, none worth speaking of, or deserving that name, without peace in ourselves.
Peace is bound up with rightiouness. Until there is justice, right dealing, until the
relations between peoples are governed by the Law of Brotherhood, true peace will be a chimera.
In the heart of a world, composed as nature has composed it, peaceful, intergrated and
progressive, man must take his place as a peace-loving entity, ever open to fresh life and ideas.
A total organization of human life for a total peace is the vessel needed to launch humanity
on a happy new era.
If so much can be done for war, cannot the same be attempted for peace~a beautiful, constructive, secure peace, enfolding all
differences of faith, race, cultures, nationality and thought, and stimulating each to flame into its individual brilliance?
Peace is not a matter of rules, a disposition of
forces, an adjustment, or a problem in mechanics. It is created by goodwill in the hearts of people, from there it is diffused through thier lives.
The dove of peace has first to find a
resting-place for it's feet in our hearts, before it can make its home in our surroundings, establish itself in the environment of our being.
If we are peace-minded, we enjoy peace
within, even when there is conflict and violence without.
Peace is not a matter for bargaining. It has to be established in oneself by realizing its
rightness, and then expressed in all modes of thought and action, in dealing with one's fellows and with the lesser kingdoms of nature as well.
There will be peace within ourselves and
thoughout the world only when there is respect for the universal law and order, for that law which is Nature's law and the Divine dispensation which we can observe in the
universal process. Only when we accept and submit absolutely to that dispensation can there be peace in our own hearts and in our world.
