There is something that you can do to help create peace in the world and that is to make yourself peaceful.

The first step in this is doing some real soul-searching to find out what has made you peaceless in the first place. Turning your mind within allows you to discover, underneath the many surface emotions of everyday life, a deep, undisturbed pool of spiritual well-being. You need to explore that part of the self, not just to understand it but to experience it, again and again.

This is a very satisfying experience, one that refreshes the soul and fills it with peace. From this vantage point, it becomes easy to recognise the kind of thoughts and feelings which are self-destructive. The power of self-realisation will work wonders in transforming these destructive mental habits. You will stop blaming others for your peacelessness, and get on with the work of culti-vating your truth.

Peace is made up of many things: love, patience, wisdom. You should not be content with just a little of it but fill yourself completely. As you practise putting these into your interactions with others, your very nature will become peaceful. This proves to be of benefit not only to yourself but to all those around you as well.
