50% of this basis, then mental and spiritual peace
accounts for the other 50%. The establishment of
peace on national and international fronts appears,

peace of mind can certainly be attained. So far as
external peace is concerned, it is necessary for
everyone to cooperate in order to maintain it. But to
achieve inner peace of mind, little or no external
cooperation is required. An individual, by his or her
own personal decision, can attain such peace, even
when all others have turned inimical to the idea.
This advantage possessed by the individual is
undoubtedly the most fortunate thing. Indeed, there
is no blessing greater than this.
