"Peace is not something you wish for; it’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away."

"Peace does not need divine intervention. People imagine that the clouds will part and an angel will appear.
But divine intervention has already happened. The clouds have parted and the angel is inside of every human being, calling out for peace."
"What do you practice in your life?
Whatever you practice, you’re going to get good at. If you practice peace, you’re going to get very good at it. If you practice knowing yourself, you’re going to get very good at it. And you will know who you are.”
"Open your eyes inside, in this wonderful city of the heart. And look around, and see these beautiful avenues, and see the peace coming toward you...
And stand still...Stand very, very, still, so the peace can find you...
Let that beautiful love from within come and hold you."
- Prem Rawat

"A lot of people think that 'absence of war is peace' and what I have figured out, is for as long as people have been fighting, absence of war may not be a happening thing, but that should not preclude the possibility of peace.
And why do I say that? Because war has nothing to do with peace, and peace has nothing to do with war.
There is a peace that transcends any war. There is a peace that is in itself, it does not need an absence of one to become the positive, the presence of another. And that is the peace that we are all looking for. And that is the peace that we want. And that is the peace that this heart wants in this existence.
It is that one missing element that is by it's nature, the most accessible to us, and the most missed by us. The two elements. It is so readily available, and yet, it is so far away from us. It is so right there, and it is so unknown. It is so present, and yet it is so absent.
And all we have to do is begin by that simple introduction - and so, let me introduce you - to you."

"That beautiful example in Eygptian mythology [after you die] you will be asked the two questions:
1. When you were on this earth did you find Peace?
2. Did you help others find Peace?
To be able to say, with a smile, 'Yes' to both whilst you're still alive has got to be the most amazing achievement that a human being can achieve.
When you do those things it isn't just some effort being lost in an abyss. No. You are rewarded instantly.
And the reward is that Gratitude, the reward is that feeling of Fulfillment, the reward is the Peace, the reward is the Joy.
These credentials are the ones worth hanging on the wall."

"It is in our humanity that we will see the need for no wars."
-Prem Rawat

"Peace already crosses barriers; barriers that nobody can cross - barriers that nobody can cross. All the might, even of the United States Army, cannot cross those barriers. Peace does.
(Peace) just simply walks in, to the heart, from person to person to person, without judging their religion, without judging their color, without judging their preference. Nothing. Just human beings."
- Prem Rawat |

“People talk about, ‘But you haven’t mentioned these wars.’
Hey listen, and I kid you not, it is human beings who decide to start the wars. If they want, if they want, in the next five minutes all war can be stopped.
War is not a supernatural phenomenon that nobody had any control over. These guns, these bullets flying, they don’t do it by themselves, somebody has to pull the trigger.
And if all the people of this earth in unison were to say, ‘Stop it’ - it would be stopped.
It would.
It would.
It would.
It would. “

We must be careful what we say about other nations.
The Haitians say, "Don't insult the alligator until you have crossed the river."
There will always be another river to cross. |
