Ideology of Peace
A MANIFESTO OF PEACE
~ 98 ~
If we fail to establish peace, then we must face
destruction in every field of life. The option for us is
not between peace and no peace, but between peace
and annihilation. Without peace, there is no hope
for the survival of mankind.
SPIRITUAL COMFORT
What disturbs the peaceful plan of nature is
mainly traceable to the fact that people have
become excessively materialistic. It is this
thinking which leads to the exploitation of
nature resulting in the disturbance of the
peaceful plan of nature. If people opted for a
path of moderation they would soon discover
that, if earlier they were comfortable physically,
now they are comfortable spiritually. And
without doubt spiritual comfort is far better
than material comfort.
The perpetrator of violence, be he a Hitler or a
common man, invariably suffers from remorse,
while the peacemaker derives great satisfaction
from his efforts. If one were to think of the end
result, one would never indulge in violence.
