Peace and Freedom on Earth

The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving from within."
~ Mahatam Gandhi



I was watching an interview with Warren Buffet last night (Buffet is the second richest man in the world). He was asked how he defines success and he said, "If you have loved or love someone and/or you have received love, then you are a success.

 There's nobody I know who commands the love of others who doesn't feel like a success."This reminded me of my favorite verse in the Bible, "Now faith, hope, and love abide, these three: and the greatest of these is Love."
( ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13)
When will the world listen? its not about ending war "over there", it's first about ending wars within.


"One who is at peace with herself will contribute spontaneously to establishing peace within her family, her neighborhood, and , circumstances permitting society at large."
~ Mattieu Ricard
