Real Peacemakers
Yesterday we spoke about world peace, today we
will try understand who the real peacemakers are. We know that world peace is
not possible without the individual finding his own inner peace, so, today we
will see how the individual can aspire to inner peace.
Swamiji and a whole host of spiritual Masters have
spoken on this subject. We celebrate June 21 as the International Yoga Day, and
Swamiji keeps telling us that yoga is not only about physical exercise, but the
eight-fold path of Patanjali, which talks about dhyan and samadhi - meditation
and the state of union with the divine.
Those who through willful effort start walking on
the spiritual path invariably find their spiritual guides and masters, some are
pulled on to the spiritual path by an unknown force, but all such people find
that meditation under the guidance of a realised Master completely transforms
their life for the better!
Let us all resolve that we will love the world as our
own nation, and that we will love our nation as we love our family. Through
this understanding we will help to establish a world family on the
indestructible foundation of wisdom. This will take a long time, but at least,
in our hearts, we will know that we have taken the first step. The next step
would be to pass on the message and introduce as many of our friends and
relatives and even strangers to this phenomenal path of meditation.
Let us resolve to practise meditation and communion
with the divine regularly, and we will taste the wine of joy and pleasantness
all the time, no matter what our outer circumstances. Drinking the nectar of
inner peace from the angel hands of our own silent realisation, we will drown
the distractions and sorrows of our daily life.
Once we have found that peace within, then it
flows out as a blessing to our environment and the world. Harmony within,
harmony without, harmony everywhere! A person who is imbued with the Divine’s
peace can feel nothing but goodwill toward all. Only that consciousness amongst
us can bring lasting peace on earth. An end that is definitely worth looking forward
to!
The real peacemakers are those who generate peace
from their devotional practice of daily meditation. Their aura exudes peace and
calm, love and bliss and those who come within range immediately feel the peace
and joy and say so too!
