Is peace just the absence of war? Is peace a sign of weakness? Here are some timeless quotes from the global spiritual master and peace leader, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the value and essence of peace in our lives.
World peace can’t come by making high-level policies alone. World peace stems from right where we are. It is peaceful individuals who make a peaceful world.
Peace is a positive phenomenon inside us. If people can access inner peace then outer peace becomes a reality. This is the key to World Peace.
Today, great pride is attached to being aggressive. Violence is neither our true nature nor the basis of civilization. We need to bring back the pride in being peaceful.
Wars begin in the mind first. When the mind is calm, there is peace.
We speak more through our vibrations. When we are peaceful, violence gets dropped in our presence.
Conflicts arise due to breakdown of communication. But when you renew communication through peaceful means, with love and patience, it helps soothe deep-rooted tensions.
In today’s world, where conflict and aggression seem to dominate headlines, the voices for peace and non-violence must be heard loud and clear. If enough of us say ‘I stand up for peace’ then that becomes a collective intention that is bound to manifest.
Let's do all that is possible to take care of people around us. We can't afford to have our population go down in depression thinking the situation is so unsurmountable. Individual peace alone can bring collective peace and peace among the nations.
