SWAMI MUKUNDANANDA
The Crossroads of MODERNIZATION

All of us, as members of one human race inhabiting \our planet Earth, have the combined responsibility of ensuring peace at the world level.

Yet even though we realize this noble and cherished goal, it still remains elusive.

In the last 5,000 years of recorded human history, at least 5,000 wars have been fought. The worst of these came to an end in 1945 when unitedly the world realized the need for world peace and established the United Nations. Yet, despite that, wars have continued.

The world is not an indivisible entity; but it is constituted of individuals like you and me. World peace comes through peaceful pieces. When each piece is peaceful, it will ensure world peace.

Is it possible to achieve a peace that is independent of externals— that will be retained despite adversities, that nobody can snatch away from us? It is possible, and it is what the ancient books of wisdom have taught us. They say peace has to be discovered inside, within your mind.
