Peace and harmony is a major goal for our universal family. In order to have peace and harmony within our world, we first need to obtain a greater degree of peace and harmony within ourselves. The following are some poems and quotes from some of our spiritual and inspirational leaders within our universal family.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRUE PATH WALKERS
To bring back the natural harmony that humans once enjoyed. To save the planet from present practices of destruction. To find and re-employ real truth. To promote true balance between both genders. To share and be less materialistic. To become rid of prejudice. To learn to be related.
To be kind to animals and take no more than we need. To play with one’s children and love each equally and fairly. To be courageous, enough so, to take a stand and make a commitment. To understand what Generations Unborn really means. To accept Great Mystery in order to end foolish argument over religion. -Anonymous
IMAGINE
Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today.
Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace.
You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us and the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world.
You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us and the world will live as one. –John Lennon
“Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life” -Dalai Lama
“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies” –Martin Luther King, Jr.
“If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children” –Mahatma Ghandi
“Our human compassion binds us the one to the other – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future” –Nelson Mandela
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other” -Mother Teresa
