Finding Peace

  -from Michael McPeaks
  from: Beyond Words, by Sri Swami Satchidananda

Your first duty is to find the peace in you. If you root yourself in peace and then lend your hand, you will certainly bring peace. If not, you will only add more and more to the peace-less condition.

Violence cannot stop violence. A war can never really be won by violence alone. The mind must be changed. A violent victory only means that you have handicapped your enemy. He is still your enemy and the peace is only temporary. You have covered the fire so it doesn't show now, but it is still inside and one day it will flare up again.

When you win a war with your power, your enemy simply retreats and waits for an opportunity to strike back at you. You have won the war but not the heart. Real victory is to win the heart, not just the land or the political power.

Yoga tells you that your own peaceful thoughts will bring results. In the name of Yoga, we try to collect the mind and send out peaceful vibrations. A sincere thought will travel all over the world. It is more than an atomic bomb, it's more than a missile.

If you still want to fight a war, fight it against undesirable thinking, not against a nation of people. And to fight such a war, you have to send out beautiful thoughts. Sit quietly and send out powerful peaceful thoughts. This crazy world is, in a way, stabilized because of people sitting for a few minutes in meditation every day.

Know that.

"I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent.
People know this, and steer clear of me at parties.
Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me."

Do Not Call List
-Jesse Melcher

Telemarketers can now be "given" access to mobile/cell phone numbers.  You will get to pay with money, not just your time, to listen to advertisements.  So register those numbers today.  And, 'tis a good time to re-register land-lines.

"There is nothing that you're wanting to know that you do not have the capacity to understand fully. And there is nothing that you're wanting to know that the Universe does not already know that you want to know, and has already begun the process of answering. And so, go forth in excited anticipation that the new ideas will continue to bubble forth, and that the Universal Forces will continue to come forth in loving, benevolent, eternal answering to that which you are about. There is great love here for you. We are complete."
