QUOTES
The
force and the strength for peace will come from people. And that will happen when
people start to realize that all the diversity and differences we see of nationalities,
of religions, of cultures, of languages, are all beautiful diversities, for they
are only on the surface. And deep down we share the same humanity, the global
humanity.
There
is at the moment in the world a battle going on between those who are pursuing
materialistic paths—globalizers of economic growth and those hell-bent on this
‘big is better’ idea—on the one hand, and on the other hand those who are dedicated
to spiritual renewal, more small-scale development, more human scale, more sustainability,
more crafts and arts. Where human beings are not just sold to companies and money
and those kinds of things. Where human beings have a sacred path.
The
Peace Prayer
Lead
me from death to life, from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace.
Let
peace fill our heart, our world, our universe.
Peace. Peace. Peace.
(-- Satish Kumar, Adapted from the Upanishads)
