Peace is Medicine

Peace is medicine for a sick world. Everyone wants a cure for the world of contamination of violence, malcontent, and discord.  There is evil and violence in the world because people have forgotten that all things come from one source.  All non peace makers need to return to that one source and leave behind all self-centered thoughts, petty desires, and anger.  Practicing peace is a measure of faith, a belief in the ultimate control of nonviolence.  It is faith in the power of purification and confidence in the power of life itself. It is not a strict discipline or empty asceticism.  It is an application that follows natural principles.  These principles must be applied to our daily activities. Peace should be practiced from the time we start to greet the morning until the time we retire at night.  One expedient thing to remember is peace emanated from the Divine Form and the Divine Heart of life; it reflects the true, good, beautiful, and pure nature of life and the nature of its highest final design.  Peace’s goal is to build profound human beings. A profound human being is one who has unified body and mind, one who is independent of hesitation or doubt, and one who understands the power of peaceful words.  Today I would like to challenge us to do one kind deed.   “Give someone a welcoming friendly smile as we greet them with peaceful words.”
