Peace Inside Out

“Peace” is another word I like: there’s inner peace, that elusive tranquil state that is blissful when found and allows one to connect with everything and feel its infinite love and protection; then there is an outer peace at home, at work or in the world at large.

Outer peace is what stems automatically from inner peace prevailing throughout mankind, or at least a significant proportion of mankind. From this it can be seen that in the search for inner peace lies the source of a greater peace, world peace, and its coming depends on us finding inner peace first.

I love this whole concept and the thought that if I can contribute to bringing about inner peace in others as it slowly blossoms in me, the world will be a better place for it. What is great is that it merely requires that I work on myself and share what I find with as many people as possible who are willing to listen and see what they can take from it for themselves. The rest will follow gradually.

Thus is the truth revealed in Ghandi’s famous quotation: “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.
