Ideology of Peace
A MANIFESTO OF PEACE

NATURE—A MODEL OF PEACE
In the present world the root cause of most of our
problems is traceable to our deviation from the
peaceful model of nature—the best model for us to
follow. All the dilemmas we are facing today arise
because we have not followed nature’s lead.
The stars and planets are in continual motion in
their orbits, but they never collide with one another.
This serves to show man how to proceed to his
destination in life without coming into conflict with
others. The sun too is an excellent model. It shows
us how we should give life to others in a totally
undiscriminating way. The tree is also a shining
example to man, in supplying healthy and
beneficial oxygen in exchange for harmful gas, that
is, carbon dioxide. And just look at how the flowers
spread fragrance all around, regardless of whether
they are appreciated for it or not. A flowing stream
is likewise a model when it irrigates the fields
without expecting anything in return. Without the
inculcation of these altruistic values among human
beings, no meaningful life on earth is possible.
