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!
