The True Jihad
Tolerance!!
Its Significance Today
~ 103 ~
Peace requires us to foster a culture of tolerance, for
intolerance can lead only to war.
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
Human beings
should follow
the example of
the stars and
planets which
remain in
continual
motion in their
orbits, without
ever colliding
with one
another.
