Peace is the most effective weapon

Peace is the most effective weapon with which to conquer injustice.

When you pray and meditate, your whole being becomes flooded with peace. Then no matter what other people do, you will just feel that they are your children playing in front of you. You will say, ”These are all children. What more can I expect from them?” But right now, because they are grown ups in terms of years, you become angry and upset instead. If you pray and meditate regularly you will soon feel that your peace is infinitely stronger, more fulfilling and more energizing than the unfortunate situation that others may create. 

This world of ours 

Is full of sharp criticism-arrows.

These arrows cannot hurt

The peace-illumined mind

And God-intoxicated heart.

Pacea este arma cea mai eficienta pentru a cuceri nedreptatea.

Atunci cand te rogi si meditezi intreaga ta fiinta devine plina de pace. Apoi nu conteaza ce fac ceilalti, vei simti ca ei sunt copii tai care se joaca in fata ta. Vei spune„Ei toti sunt niste copii. Ce altceva as putea sa astept de la ei? Dar acum, pentru ca ei sunt adulti din punct de vedere al anilor, tu te superi si te enervezi. Daca te rogi si meditezi cu regularitate in curand vei simti ca pacea ta este infinit mai puternica si mai plina de energie si realizare decat situatia nefericita pe care ceilalti o pot crea.

Aceasta lume a noastra

Este plina de sagetile-ascutite ale criticismului.

Aceste sageti nu pot rani

Mintea iluminata de pace

Si nici inima intoxicata cu Dumnezeu.

Sri Chinmoy
