The Second World War
was a conflict that
involved virtually every part
of the world
during the years 1939 - 1945.
I tell you honestly, there is really no such thing as peace. The very word peace is simply the gap between two wars. It is the preparation for the next war. It is like a resting period. But there is really no such thing as peace existing on planet Earth.
Look in
There is no such thing as political peace. There is spiritual peace, but there has never been political peace. Spiritual peace is one of deep relaxation. It is of deep silence. How can we achieve it? I will tell you. There is a small meditation technique for this. Sit alone under a big tree. In the ashram, we have the Banyan Tree. Sit under any big tree. Listen to the rustling of the leaves. Feel the leaves rustling in your ears. The sound should feel like a part of you. Through this rustling, feel the silence within it.
