The Path to World Peace

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

Albert Einstein

It is obvious that only a new seed can yield a new crop. Only new knowledge, a new way of thinking, new programs to create peace can eliminate wars, sickness and suffering and prevent the recurrence of such problems in the future.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Rev. Martin Luther King

We must reject the idea of revenge and aggression if we are to move in the direction of a lasting state of peace. Wars cannot be alleviated by increasing our capacity for destruction. Those who destroy will be destroyed. There is no possibility of protection through the build-up of military armaments. In a moment, even a well-stocked nuclear arsenal can be blown up. There is no protection today from chemical warfare as we saw in the spread of the Covid virus which originated in China.

The only solution is to creation a national armor based on the internal coherence of the nation. The citizens of every nation must be educated to think and act in accordance with natural law. When one violates the laws of nature, even inadvertently, suffering results. The individuals of every nation must learn to live in harmony with all the laws of nature.

“God grants us the faculty to open ourselves to peace. If we don’t, then we are responsible if wars continue.” Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Numerous scientific research studies have validated the beneficial results of Transcendental Meditation in creating coherence in brain wave functioning, developing the full potential of the mind, reducing negative tendencies, strengthening the immune system and creating harmonious interpersonal relationships.

The path to world peace can be structured by creating inner peace in the consciousness of the individuals in the world. Just as a green forest is made of green trees, a peaceful world is composed of peaceful individuals. Inner peace in the nations of the world is the basis of world peace in the family of nations. The fabric of life is composed of interwoven threads. Each individual is a thread in the tapestry of life. The pain of one individual sends a quiver of pain into the entire fabric of life; no man is an island. We are all interconnected and we feel the emotions emitted by every one of us. Each one of us effects the whole of life. It is our responsibility to radiate positive, harmonious vibrations which inspire, uplift and energize the universe so that our collective life on earth becomes a source of bliss, peace and ever-increasing fulfillment.
