A catastrophe may intervene and interrupt or destroy the efforts of humankind to achieve unity of purpose, but even then the final result is sure - the unification is a necessity in the course of Nature. Its necessity for nations is also clear, for, without it, the freedom of the small peoples can never be safe hereafter and even large and powerful nations cannot really be secure. It is therefore in the interest of all that efforts for peace should be united.
Sri Aurobindo
Make every effort to keep among you the unity of spirit through the bonds of peace.
Ephesus 4:3
Baha'is believe that world peace is inevitable. We have two choices - either we can all cling to our old ways of thinking until the world reaches such a state that we are forced to make peace, or we can decide to come together now and bring peace through consultations. There are many positive signs. There is the United Nations, where governments can consult together. Many countries cooperate to try to deal with international problems such as drug addiction and terrorism. There are peace movements asking for an end to war.
Baha'i writings
To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves. However small may be the world we live in, if we can transform ourselves, bring about a radically different point of view in our daily existence, then perhaps we shall affect the world at large, the extended relationship with others.
J Krishnamurti |
