Wisdom May Be Perennial, But

Beneath The Surface Level Of Conditioned Thinking In Every One Of Us There Is A Single Living Spirit. The Still Small Voice Whispering To Me In The Depths Of My Consciousness Is Saying Exactly The Same Thing As The Voice Whispering To You In Your Consciousness. 'i Want An Earth That Is Healthy, A World At Peace, And A Heart Filled With Love.' It Doesn't Matter If Your Skin Is Brown Or White Or Black, Or Whether You Speak English, Japanese, Or Malayalam - The Voice, Says The Gita, Is The Same In Every Creature, And It Comes From Your True Self.

International War Is The Sum Total Of Millions Of Individual Wars, Raging In The Minds Of The People, Between What Is Selfish And What Is Selfless. To The Extent That You And I Develop Selflessness In Our Own Hearts, To That Extent We Contribute To Peace In Our Family, Community, Country, And World.

To Be Secure Everywhere Is The Mark Of Sophistication, To Be Unshakable Is The Mark Of Courage, To Be Permanently In Love With Every Person Is The Mark Of Masculinity Or Femininity, To Forgive Is The Mark Of Strength, To Govern Our Senses And Passions Is The Mark Of Freedom.

We Look At The World Through Our Likes And Dislikes, Hopes And Fears, Opinions And Judgments. We Want Everyone To Behave As We Think They Should; Otherwise We Get Agitated. But We Are Here To Accept The World As It Is, Even As We Work To Make It Better.

When We Truly Are Putting Others First, We Cannot But Feel At Peace With Ourselves.
